PI Update: Cookies Are Coming! (UPDATED)

We've previously mentioned that Gideon's Bakehouse is coming to this spot on Pleasure Island. Located at the Hub, it's where PI Live Bar used to stand back in the day.
We previously opined that prior occupant Erwin Pearl Jewelry was doomed because their door faced a side walkway and was thus invisible to most patrons passing by on the main thoroughfare from Disney Springs Marketplace to Disney Springs West Side. We don't know if this will be remedied for Gideon's or will they still have this side entry.
Trying to replicate a backstory sign from old town Disney Springs, it reads "Lindwurk Bookseller". Not sure where they will put Gideon's signs. This will be their second location with the original remaining in Orlandi's East End Market. There cookies cost $5 each so it will be interesting to see if they can maintain that price point at Disney.
Extensive renovations inside including the installation of baking ovens are an indication that it's going to be awhile before they open.

UPDATE: Good news! The former entrance has metal studs installed so that means the entrance IS being moved to face either the corner or to face Hill Street where most of the pedestrians are.
