Guss’ Pickles is leaving the Lower East Side, but owner Pat Fairhurst is going home. High rent and a new city parking meter in front of her store is sending Fairhurst and her famous pickle shop — one of two left in the neighborhood, along with The Pickle Guys — to Brooklyn’s Boro Park, where she grew up. ‘I feel bad that they have to go,’ said local Rabbi Avraham Fishelis, but added, ‘They’ve survived, and hopefully they’ll survive until the coming of the Messiah.’

HI:
I am a huge pickle fan and their is no mention that when Guss of Orchard street moves they can't use the name due to a 2006 lawsuit. They switched suppliers and the reason they are doing so badly on orchard is because they are buying terrible product. If they would have just kept buying from United Pickles they would have been fine. Thankfully The real Guss Pickles you can purchase threw the internet, and in Cedarhurst, and all Whole Foods.
