PRICE STORES RENOVATING DOWNTOWN DAYTON LOCATION

Price Stores has cut its store hours temporarily for remodeling and repairs to its downtown Dayton building.

The longtime tuxedo and tailored suit store, located at 52 S. Jefferson St., will have limited hours during the duration of the renovations. February store hours are: ■ Monday: Noon to 8 p.m.

■ Thursday: Noon to 8 p.m. ■ Saturday: Noon to 5 p.m. “We are doing some much needed repairs and remodeling, All wedding reservations and men’s alterations will be ready as promised!! Any measurements needed to be completed will be done during our restricted hours for the month of February only,” the store announced on its website.

Edd Wimsatt, owner of Price Stores, told this news organization that renovations could run into early March. The store will renovate its floors, ceiling lights, along with other updates.

Price Stores sold its building for approximately $550,000 in March 2017, according to county property records. Wimsatt, said it was the right time to sell the building to an investor who is interested in revamping and developing downtown Dayton.

The Ellway Group now owns the Price Stores building and at the time of the purchase said they planned to renovate it into a boutique hotel. The Ellway Group also owns or controls 1 million square feet of space in the Fire Blocks District, which is the area bordered by Jefferson and St. Clair streets and Second and Fourth Streets. The group also purchased two buildings near the Cannery Lofts, also along East Third Street.
