LOCAL BUSINESS

A Dayton shop is among three businesses planning to open in a Dayton plaza.

TheZe DealZ, “a thrifty boutique,” plans to celebrate its grand reopening at 3183 W. Siebenthaler Ave. in the Northwest Shopping Plaza on May 26, according to business owner Zontaye Richardson.

The shop closed its doors in January at 3491 W. Siebenthaler Ave. The new, larger 4,000-square-foot space, formerly part of Katie’s Hallmark store, has built-in dressing rooms and an office. Her former location was 3,200 square feet.

If all goes as planned, TheZe DealZ will be the first of at least three businesses to open in the Northwest Shopping Plaza in the coming months.

Dayton chef Anthony Head plans to open the Chicken Spot there in July. Hibbett Sporting Goods plans to open a location in the plaza on June 15 and employ six to eight people, Sam Killian, a real estate manager for the Birmingham, Ala.-based company, confirmed.

Before opening the shop nearly two years ago, Richardson worked as a social worker for Montgomery County Board of Developmental Disabilities Services. She said she opened that shop to fill a void on the west side of Dayton.

PearlRock is part of Kroger’s alternative profit streams portfolio.

“We are excited about building a long-term partnership with Kroger,” said Eric Fry, a Partner at Lindsay Goldberg. PearlRock Partners adds to Restock Kroger, Kroger’s plan to redefine the food and grocery customer experience through its stores, logistics and data assets. Kroger’s new growth model will be a “virtuous cycle,” according to the statement.
