A coffee roastery well known in the Dayton area is coming to southern Delaware County in 2021, according to a report in Columbus Business First.
Boston Stoker will be anchoring a new retail center being built on Glick Road in Shawnee Hills in what it terms “the most affluent intersection in Ohio,” just north of the Dublin Road intersection.
This will be the chain’s second Columbus area location. There is currently a Boston Stoker Coffee on Neil Avenue.
According to its website:
“Boston Stoker was founded by Don and Sally Dean as a pipe and tobacco shop in Englewood, Ohio in 1973. As a strategy to build their customer base in a new business, the Deans started offering free, freshly brewed specialty coffee to customers while they shopped. It worked for keeping people in the shop and the demand began to grow from more and more people to buy the coffee to take it home, eventually leading Boston Stoker into the specialty coffee industry.
Boston Stoker roasts more than 150,000 pounds of coffee annually and takes special care to roast each varietal to its peak flavor, in small batches, daily to ensure the freshest product possible.”
