Labi works six days a week, taking Sundays off to be with his family, which includes his wife, Behrije, who works at the restaurant on Saturdays, with their  daughters.  But they’ll be at the eatery  this  Sunday, w handing out pizzas. So feel free to bring your family out and grab a pizza’s.  Pizza’s will all be for carry out only.

Leona says she’s worked in restaurants since she was 17 and after 20 years decided it was time to open her own place.  She choose Springboro because she feels it will allow her to create a small town community feel, where she’ll get to know her customers and enjoy a slower pace than big city life.
From expertly crafted sushi and sashimi to sizzling teppanyaki and comforting ramen, the menu is a celebration of traditional Japanese dishes with a modern twist. The menu is vast, offering raw and hibachi options some  fried food and a few signature Chinese dishes as well. Here’s a peek at some of the menu:

Small Business Spotlight: This Guy’s Coffee

By

This Guy’s Coffee actually started as SAXBY’S COFFEE in 2006 as a franchise which was owned by Kurt & Kerri Ritter. The parent company elected to rebrand their five stores in outlying markets and concentrate on college locations. They allowed their franchisees to change their business name, purchase rights, etc.
Hence, This Guy’s Coffee was born. In 2006, they were ahead of the curve already by OPENING with a Drive-Thru (D/T)
Owners Hannah & Lauren report that their D/T Sales are 75% of their total Sales~ MAJOR WOOW factor!
It continues to resonate in the business community what D/T’s do for their customers and D/T’s have gained momentum since COVID.
Lauren & Hannah both started at entry level positions as Barista’s. Lauren purchased a percentage of the Business from the Ritters when they opened This Guy’s. Hannah started in 2019 as a senior in HS. She continued working for This Guy’s as she earned her Undergraduate degree from UC in Interdisciplinary Studies.

She was longing to be an Entrepreneur and approached Lauren about buying into the Business and Lauren said “let’s do it.” That happened in 2022. Lauren remarked “now we can keep Hannah here forever.” These two ladies also have some great things happening in their personal lives. Lauren and her husband are expecting their first child and Hannah was recently engaged!!

There is a culture in this Business and it has been like that since the beginning when the Ritter’s owned it according to Lauren. Staff is trained to take outstanding care of customers, lots of smiles, efficiency and working together as a Team AND having FUN!
It was VERY clear to me in 3 visits and after 53 years in the Food Business that they in fact were -delivering the difference-
Some of the things they do to differentiate themselves from their competition:
All pastries are baked from SCRATCH. Yes, no frozen and thaw items here. In fact, Lauren’s Mom (Carole) is one of the 2 Bakers. Sasha, Lauren’s sister in law is the second Baker.

Lauren, Carole (Lauren’s Mom) and Baker along with Hannah

 

On one of my visits, I saw a tray of cherry/ chocolate Scones sitting close to the coffee brewer and they were not in the case yet. Yep, I asked and they were warm. I had to buy one. Major Yumminess!!
So, I do not know of anyone in the coffee/ quick service market that scratch bakes until I met these 2 ladies.
They occupy 1,300 square feet with 22 seats and their landlord-Cindy Pacetti who owns Springboro Pharmacy at the other end of the Center recently added a 20 seat outdoor patio in 2021 that benefits both This Guy’s and Roma’s Pizza next door.
Both ladies are appreciative of Cindy and her efforts to maintain the property and help them grow their Business!! Hearing of this Lessee/ Lesser relationship resonated so positively that I walked down to meet Cindy and tell her what the ladies had expressed. Cindy has operated her Pharmacy for 24 years.
In conclusion, I was very impressed with this long standing Springboro Business and wish them continued Success! Lauren & Hannah, I will be back soon for a warm scone and your dark roast coffee!

Warped Wing’s New Springboro Location to Open Saturday

By

Warped Wing Brewing Co., a Dayton, Ohio based brewery, announces its official opening of The Warped Wing Barrel Room &  Smokery. The unique barrel-aged facility, taproom, eatery and test pilot brewery is located at the new Wright Station development, in the heart of downtown Springboro, located at the intersection of State Routes 741 and 73. The 20,000 square foot facility boasts a large taproom with outdoor biergarten and a flexible event space. The remaining facility will accommodate up to 400+ aging barrels along with a small-scale brewery and distribution hub.

Warped Wing will provide a one-of-a-kind experience for patrons. Special customer programs are being developed such as a Barrel Club Reserve membership, which will allow members to get up-close, hands-on tour experiences, exclusive tastings and first offering purchases of extremely limited bottles. Warped Wing has won accolades for a series of their barrel-aged products such as “Whiskey Rebellion”. They continue to develop many other brands within their traditional beer and barrel-aged portfolio.

“Our barrel-aging program has propelled us into an interesting place” said Nick Bowman, co-founder and VP of Sales and Marketing. “My partner, Co-founder and Brewmaster John Haggerty has a wealth of knowledge and experience with brewing and barrel aging,” said Bowman. “He pushes the creativity of recipe development to another level. Barrel aging is an intimate and patient process. A lot of our beers rest in wood for up to a year or longer. We are excited to share this process and experience with our customers. The Barrel Room & Smokery will take beer to a new level and will change the way people perceive and interact with beer. That is what I’m most excited about” said Bowman.

“The pilot brewing system will give us endless opportunities to experiment with new beer styles and flavor profiles” said Bowman.

The new facility will not only offer bottled and draft barrel-aged beers but also a staple of its flagship beers such as IPA’s, stouts, lagers and other styles. There will also be an extensive bottle collection for patrons to choose from which will be available to drink on premise or purchased to go.

The Smokery, run by Culinary Director Erin O ‘Neill, will bring an innovative, eclectic menu to complement the robust beer selection. There will be a major focus on smoked meat/food items and many of the dishes will feature Warped Wing beers as ingredients. Other libations available will be hard cider, wine as well as a limited spirits menu focused on specialty cocktails and house made craft sodas.

Playhouse South Moving South

By

Playhouse South Community Theatre has just  announced that they will be moving their program to Springboro!

Tentatively in Spring of 2019, Playhouse South will be located in a permanent home in Springboro to help fulfill the need for more performing arts in the area. They have been closely working with  City Manager, Chris Pozzuto to better our relationship with the city.

With this being said, Rock of Ages, which performs in May, will be the last show in their current location. Their first and last show of the 2018-2019 season will be School House Rock Live! in Springboro at North Park. From then, until their new home is available, they will be taking the time to revamp their program. Their board and members agree that this is the perfect opportunity to properly prepare for the future of Playhouse South.

Why pause the Playhouse South program until you have moved into the new home in Springboro? 

– Our members and board have decided that until our permanent space is ready, we would like to take this time to address everything our program has to offer. We’re looking at ways to grow, improve, and organize our entire program in a way that will better accommodate our new city and space.

Where will everything be stored while the move is taking place? 

– Springboro has generously offered us a temporary space where we can store all our costumes, props, furniture, lumber, etc. Also, they have provided us with proper accommodations to prepare for School House Rock Live!

Are you announcing a 2018-2019 season? 

– Rock of Ages, going up in May, will be our last show in our current space in Kettering. We will begin moving from this space as soon as the show closes. School House Rock Live!, performed at North Park in Springboro, will be our first and only 2018-2019 season show.

What does the new space look like? 

– We cannot share many details about our new space. Nothing is set in stone as of yet, and many changes could still take place between now and the finalization of the project. We can confidently say that we have worked with the Springboro City Manager, Chris Pozzuto, to work from a “Wish List” of things that we would like our theater to include, and just about everything on that list will be worked into the space. Once everything is finalized, we will go public with more details.
