In a recent article published by Pittsburgh Business Times, reporter Jake Dabkowski confirmed that popular local dining spot, Eat'n Park, issued a cease and desist letter to a St. Louis bakery. The issue arose over alleged similarities between the bakery's cookies and Eat'n Park's recognizable "Smiley" cookie.
This information was initially disclosed by the St. Louis Business Journal, and an Eat'n Park spokesperson confirmed the legal action.Â
In a related news, partnerships between Eat'n Park and other businesses have been thriving. Millie's has teamed up with Eat'n Park for a limited-edition Christmas Star Ice Cream, and 5 Generation Bakers has seen an expanded staff due to their collaboration with the restaurant. The CEO of Eat'n Park has also recently joined the board of a major Pittsburgh bank, marking a significant expansion of their influence within the city.
