Orange Box is closed – at least temporarily, says owner

Scott Welsch, who reopened his Orange Box luncheonette in January at 240 East Linwood, says he stopped serving carryout meals from the midtown venue more than a week ago, and the future of the business is still up in the air.

“You could say that I’m in limbo right now,” Welsch says. “My catering business really took off at the first of the year, and I’m also getting job offers from venues in other cities.”

Welsch says he’s not sure what direction he’s planning to take, but the Orange Box (which he initially opened at 2700 Jarboe in 2012) will remain closed – at least for the next week.
