Duck Donuts
A made-to-order doughnut shop has opened its first Dayton-area location — and more are planned.
Duck Donuts at 1200 Brown St., Suite 115, opened Friday, Oct. 27, at 8 a.m. There will be limited hours for the first few days — from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. — and hours are expected to expand starting Monday, Oct. 30.
Duck Donuts serves light vanilla cake donuts that customers can customize by choosing a variety of topping combinations. The stores offer a viewing area where children and adults can watch their donuts being made.
Coming Soon
Corelife Eatery
Corelife Eatery, 5201 Cornerstone North Blvd. in Centerville, will host a grand opening Friday Nov. 10.
The CoreLife menu offers create-your-own grain and vegetable bowls, soups, grass-fed chicken and steak, and organic tofu. Customers can create their own “green bowl,” with options like Sriracha ginger roasted tofu, kale caesar chicken, spicy ginger steak, Mediterranean, and chicken cobb.
The healthy-alternative restaurant will hold a “VIP Preview Day” on Nov. 9 from 11:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m in which guests “pay what they choose.” The entire proceeds will benefit Hannah’s Treasure Chest, the Washington Twp.-based non-profit organization that provides clothing, baby equipment, diapers, hygiene items, toys, books and other essential items for needy families in Butler, Greene, Montgomery, and Warren counties.
Flyboys Deli
Flyboys Deli is putting the finishing touches on its 7,403-square-foot restaurant outside of the main entrance to the Mall at Fairfield Commons. The independently owned restaurant plans a late-fall opening.
This will be the second location for Flyboys, which operates a restaurant at 2515 Far Hills Ave. in Oakwood.
New eatery for Fairborn
Lawren Williams, the owner of Williams’ Eatery & Gathering Place and The Corner Cone Dairy Bar & Grill in Yellow Springs, has confirmed to Fairborn city officials that he will open a new coffee shop and deli in Fairborn.
The new coffee shop will be located at 2 W. Main St. and is tentatively scheduled to open in early 2018.
District Provisions
The District Provisions retail market at 521 Wayne Ave. will open incrementally.
A “sneak-peek” was held Oct. 22 and the tentative plan is to then open components of Glasz Bleu Oven, Jack Luckey’s Oyster Saloon & Caviar Bar and Local Hero Butchery & Fare starting about two weeks later, initially with Thursday-through Sunday hours and slowly ramping up to six-day-a-week service (closed Mondays), a spokesman for Coin & Hammer LLC, the corporation that owns District Provision, told this news outlet.
The new retail ventures are located in the Dietz Block building, built in 1886 at Wayne Avenue and Jones Street, next door to Wheat Penny restaurant. Crafted & Cured, a growler-fill craft beer and cured meats bar, opened last spring in the southeast end of the building, along Jones Street.

Fans of Krispy Krunchy Chicken of will soon have a new venue from which to score their dinner — and they’ll be able to take home some fresh draft beer to wash down those Cajun-kissed legs and breasts, too.
