The burger joint’s temporary closure at the onset of the pandemic had turned into a permanent one after roughly three and a half years in the space.

April 6, 20223 yr Parsons Avenue Bakery Moving to the Convention Center J’s Sweet Treats has said goodbye to the South Side, but fans can fear not as the bakery has already found a new home. Owner Juana Williams will move her operation to the Greater Columbus Convention Center, 400 N. High St. J’s Sweet Treats opened its first brick-and-mortar at 1540 Parsons Ave. in February of 2020, just weeks before the pandemic would upend the world. Williams says that when they opened on Parsons, she knew it was more of an up-and-coming spot, but revitalization efforts were underway in the area. However, when the pandemic struck, she says the focus understandably turned from revitalization to economic survival. Coupled with a few safety issues encountered by her all-female staff, ultimately, “It just wasn’t a fit for us any longer,” Williams says.
