Chef Andrew Gorski, the force behind Edacious in Avon Lake, is getting ready to open William Fine Sandwich Shop & Cold Creamery Co. at 140 Lear Road, bringing a neighborhood-focused lineup of sandwiches, salads and housemade hard-pack ice cream. The concept is a sandwich-and-sweets spot that will also pour uncommon beers and wines alongside craft sodas. Moving into a space that previously housed local ice-cream vendors, the shop is set up as a casual all-day stop for takeout and quick sit-downs. Hiring is already underway, and the business is advertising a "Coming Soon" notice on its site.
Menu and sweets
Gorski told Cleveland Scene that William Fine will lean into artisan sandwiches, including the Gabagool Italian hoagie, a Cleveland Philly with ribeye and giardiniera, a porchetta with rappini and salsa verde, and an Edacious sandwich stacked with prosciutto and stracciatella. Diners will be able to order sandwiches by the half or whole, and the lineup will include vegetarian options. The kitchen plans to work with local and regional bakeries for bread, and the shop will round things out with a handful of salads. On the sweets side, the ice cream will be housemade hard-pack with eight rotating flavors, and those scoops will show up in milkshakes, root beer floats and banana splits. Those menu and format details were reported by Cleveland Scene.
Where it's located
William Fine's official site lists the address as 140 Lear Road in Avon Lake and currently shows a "Coming Soon" placeholder that includes a phone number and an email address for inquiries. The page also links to a hiring form for prospective staff members, confirming the shop is recruiting as it gears up to open. That online listing provides a direct point of contact for both media and job applicants. See the business' page at William Fine.
Licensing and local approvals
Records from the City of Avon Lake show that a liquor-license permit was filed for William Fine Sandwich Shop, LLC at 140 Lear Road, and council minutes note that the administration did not request a hearing on the application. That decision typically speeds up the state licensing process and clears the path for on-site beer and wine service. The broader council session that mentioned the permit also appeared in a local roundup of recent liquor-license activity. See the City of Avon Lake minutes and fast-tracks booze licenses.
From Edacious to a neighborhood counter
Gorski built his local profile with Edacious Kitchen + Bar in Avon Lake and is now adding a smaller, daytime-focused counter concept with William Fine. The Edacious website lists the restaurant's contact and reservation details, underscoring the chef's ongoing presence in the city. William Fine appears to draw on the same culinary skill set but channels it into a simpler, quicker format geared toward nearby residents and commuters. More about Gorski's current restaurant can be found at Edacious.
Exact opening hours and a formal grand-opening announcement have not been published, though Cleveland Scene reported that an opening was expected "early next week" and the shop is already posting job openings. For the latest updates and hiring details, the William Fine site lists contact information and a team form, and Edacious' channels are also sharing links for inquiries. The plan is a neighborhood-friendly counter that blends restaurant-level sandwiches with classic ice-cream treats. For more detail, see Cleveland Scene and William Fine.
