“Nook & Needle is more than just a store — it’s a space where people can slow down, create, and connect,” said Kat Jones-Shank, who owns the boutique with her brother, Brian Jones.
The owners are planning to host stitching meets, reading circles and hands-on workshops starting this fall.
“The Dayton Arcade has long been a dream location for me — a place where history, creativity, and community meet,“ Jones-Shank said. ”We’re honored to add our thread to its rich tapestry and help weave a new story as this iconic space comes to life again.”
This boutique will be Dayton’s only dedicated cross-stitch store and the region’s first to pair it with curated literature.
“As Dayton continues to grow as a center for arts and innovation, Nook & Needle is proud to contribute a new creative experience to the city’s cultural landscape,” a press release from the Dayton Arcade stated.
Nook & Needle joins several other businesses coming soon to the North Arcade retail marketplace including Smales Pretzel Bakery and Luke’s Custom Cakes.
Additional tenants will be announced this summer.
