Cornerstone Cafe closes Hamilton location

HAMILTON — The Cornerstore Cafe at 24 S. Third St. in Hamilton has closed.

The restaurant location officially closed March 30. Jay Patel, store owner, said on a door sign for customers he will focus his efforts on the West Chester Twp. location at 6096 West Chester Rd., which remains open.

“This is a tough decision for us, but given the current economic climate, we have decided to consolidate our locations and operate soley out of the West Chester, OH location,” the sign said.

Patel could not be reached for comment.

Cornerstone Cafe opened in Hamilton in February 2009 after the former restaurant, Ronda’s Courthouse Cafe, closed because the owner said business did not meet expectations.
