What happened after Man v. Food?

Casey Webb visited Jake's Sandwich Board's location at 122 S. 12th Street in Philadelphia's Midtown Village, part of a small local chain known for stacked deli sandwiches. The Philadelphia Inquirer reported that Jake's Sandwich Board's eight-year run at that 12th Street address ended at 3 p.m. on June 20, 2018, with the space set to become Hatch & Coop, a chicken-focused concept. Jake's had expanded to multiple Philadelphia locations after opening in 2010, per the same report, before the 12th Street shop's closure; Yelp's business page for that location is also marked closed, and a separate West Philadelphia location at 125 S. 40th Street is listed closed as well. No source reviewed shows a Jake's Sandwich Board location still operating in Philadelphia.
