Brown Street coffee shop to close
The Boston Stoker Night & Day Cafe at 1822 Brown St. near the University of Dayton is scheduled to close on Aug. 12, according to Henry Dean, Boston Stoker’s vice president of operations.
“We were happy with the customer base there, but we were hoping for higher sales,” Dean said. Boston Stoker officials looked at other locations nearby that would accommodate a drive-through, which Dean said would have boosted sales, but didn’t find what they wanted. With the store’s lease approaching its expiration, Boston Stoker decided to close the store after a five-year run at that location. Dean said Boston Stoker will consider other locations in the UD area in the future.
The store closing will drop the number of Boston Stoker locations from 10 to nine for the small Dayton-based chain of coffee shops.
The Aug. 12 closing will affect eight employees, Dean said. Boston Stoker is attempting to place those employees in other Boston Stoker locations in the Dayton area, including Oakwood, Centerville and downtown Dayton, he said.
