Customers who are accustomed to a coffee-only shop will have be able to buy chocolates and other candy in the new store, said Brian Sharp, director of stores for Winans Dayton. Workers also made improvements to the patio in front of the store, fencing it in and adding umbrellas.
The chocolate and coffee shop has a drive-through window in addition to seating for 22 inside and another 14 on the patio, Sharp said. It will open with nine employees.
Two of this region’s Winans locations — near the Dayton Mall in Miami Twp. and near the Mall at Fairfield Commons in Beavercreek — already offer wines by the glass or bottle in addition to chocolates and coffees. The chain has applied to add wines to both its store at The Greene and to the new Washington Twp. location.
“Wine has been successful for us at our Dayton Mall and Beavercreek locations, not only for retail bottle sales, but also for our chocolate and wine pairings” that the shops can offer customers, Sharp said.
The new Far Hills Avenue store is the 14th location overall for the Miami County-based Winans, and the sixth for the Winans Dayton franchise group.
