Cornett said Billie Gold Bubble Tea opened as a food truck in Oct. 2018. She explained when she first started there were no bubble tea shops in Dayton.

“I just thought it’d be something fun that I did on the weekends or took to festivals occasionally,” Cornett previously said. “But then it ended up just being more popular than I expected.”

Cornett said customers can expect the same menu with some new drinks and unique snacks. She will also continue operating the food truck but plans to change how often and where.

Billie Gold Bubble Tea will be a place for all ages to hang out, Cornett said. She looks forward to introducing some fun events to bring the community together.

“It’s really hard to have a bad day when you’re drinking a bubble tea,” Cornett said. “We always say when you’re hot, hungry, thirsty or tired, a bubble tea will fix your problems.”

The lounge will be open 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday. The bubble tea food truck will be at 5 N. Broad St. in Fairborn from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. Friday, April 21 and at 1300 E. First St. in Dayton from noon to 3 p.m. Saturday, April 22.
