Doesn't look too bad by the picture. The length of tenure at the downtown location will be determined by the quality of the product, the advertising (gonna have to remind people that you're down there often) as people are more likely to go to fast food row rather than a specialty shop downtown on any given evening for supper and most importantly, the cost and perceived value of each slice served. They will cater to a small downtown group of consumers each day for their base customer. I would imagine a large portion of the business will be reliant on the general population of the city. That would be blue-collar workers on any given evening, who like their beer, pop and a filling meal priced right for their hard-earned money. Store entertainment matching customer interests may be an advantage too. If the focus is volume to stay in business, this pizza shop will have to capture the interest of potential customers who are not interested in most of what the downtown has to offer. If not, I predict they will last less than a year downtown. JMO
I hope they are successful. |

Pretty much everyone likes pizza, and this plays to the current rush rush grab n go lifestyle. by the slice is more profitable, though they will need to sell a lot of slices daily. This is not a late-night area like over the Rhine, town pretty much shuts down by 9. I guess that u can never have too many pizza places. I don't go past cassanos and Stefanos though. Low area overhead will help keep them open after start up commercial kitchen costs. Should play well to the C St/MHS crowd down there. Which building?
Triple Moon seems to be the key magnet these days. |

Looking at the Yelp reviews for Cincy by the Slice, their Over The Rhine location appears to also be a full service bar and stays open until 2:30am. They have a location in Loveland or Moraine that only stays open until 10:00pm. I'd guess which version Middletown will get depends on whether they'll be able to get a liquor license.

Think the Japanese Steakhouse, outside the downtown area, will get the same love the downtown pizza business will get from the city or will the Journal and the city leaders only recognize downtown businesses as they have demonstrated in the past?
Nice to see all vacant stores in ALL areas of town being filled. Let's hope there is some longevity to this. |

1300 - old Anchor spot. Likely infrastructure exists to support restaurant operation without huge investment.

Saw that several weeks ago. More options locally hopefully mean more dollars staying local. Let's hope they address the parking lot. There is also an ice cream/confections/candy shop opening in the shopping center next to the old Towne Athletic Club on Dixie Hwy.

Perhaps I'm getting a little soft, more agreeable and starting to mellow out in my old age. I did turn 67 in October.......nahh

I've been seeing the sign up for that candy/sweets shop for months. Anyone know if there's a firm open date?
