The goal is to reduce the labor cost and the cost of operating in order to be able to offer price points closer to what the average college student can afford."
May 21, 20241 yr I don't really understand their original expansion strategy. They seem to just be repeatedly opening large "bistros" in the most expensive buildings and expecting business to be good. 3700 square feet in CUF trying to sell $17 lunches + tip and relying on alcohol sales during every meal just isn't going to work IMO. Every successful business in CUF and Corryville seems to be small spaces that accommodate take out and delivery. I think Adriatico's is half the size of the TOB location in CUF. Then I imagine they are expecting suburban diners to spend $X on alcohol like they would on Vine Street, and I just don't think the suburban locations are going to be highly alcohol driven. So they probably spent a lot of money on a nice 20-draft system with expensive Belgian beers, and they just aren't going to sell that many.

June 13, 20241 yr Ruby's Chocolates relocates to Findlay Market following Oakley store closure A family-owned chocolate shop has relocated from Oakley to Over-the-Rhine. Ruby’s Chocolates now sits in a 550-square-foot space at 1725 Elm St., a historical mixed-use building right next to Findlay Market. Sina Danesh is a broker, commercial real estate agent and senior investment adviser at 3CRE. He's also a co-owner of the chocolate shop with his mother, Melinda Mueller. The two were looking to leave their standalone Oakley Square location, at 3923 Isabella Ave., after their lease was up this year. They loved the Oakley area, where they opened in 2020, and were doing extremely well around holidays such as Mother’s Day, Christmas and Valentine’s Day. But they felt they could grow more if they were located somewhere with more foot traffic.
