Here's the short version: Schulte, who opened a breakfast-and-lunch venue called the Happy Gillis Café & Hangout in 2008, recently sold the Columbus Park operation to chef Josh Eans, who plans to keep the name and move with his family to the apartment above the restaurant.
The decision surprised Happy Gillis regulars, but Schulte told me that Eans is the right candidate for the space....

The first step, Schulte says, is moving the retail soup operation from Columbus Park to a new storefront on West 25th Street, near La Esquina's performance space. The completed shop will sell refrigerated soups (and some frozen varieties) to carryout customers. He's toying with the idea of offering hot soups, too. He was a big fan of chef Rob Dalzell's downtown Souperman, which closed in 2010.
