Crafted & Cured, Dayton’s purveyor of premium craft beer, artisanal meats and cheeses, today announced it will open a new location in the iconic First National Bank building in downtown Troy.
The new Crafted & Cured location will offer a full-service retail shop and restaurant selling craft beer, boutique wines, cured meats, artisanal cheeses and champagnes. Customers may purchase items to-go or for dine-in service in the historic landmark.
“In 2016, we opened Crafted & Cured to create a customer experience of delicious artisanal items married with a historic, unique atmosphere,” said Christian Alvarez, co-owner, Crafted & Cured. “When given the opportunity to extend that customer experience to Troy in a setting unlike anything else in Ohio, we knew this was the right place for us.”
Alvarez and co-owner Andy Routson plan to use the 11,900 square foot of space to expand on the experience customers knew and loved in their Dayton location. The site will have a full liquor license and offer bourbon and cocktails. Routson and Alvarez will grow their craft services to include in-house cheeses, cured meats and more. Later phases of the expansion include plans for catering and on-site community events.
The co-owners anticipate hiring a crew of 20-30 team members at the new location and are already seeking candidates for full-time managerial positions, charcutiers and bartenders. Interested candidates can apply by email at [email protected].
Located at 8 South Market Street, Crafted & Cured will be a welcome addition to Troy’s growing downtown restaurant and business scene when it opens later this year.
“Crafted & Cured is a natural, strong addition to Troy’s historic downtown,” said Wade Westfall, Four Sons Development site developer. “Given its proven record of creating a memorable, unique and delicious experience for customers in Dayton, I look forward to Crafted & Cured being a similar destination for visitors and residents in Troy.”
Alvarez and Routson closed their downtown Dayton location in mid-2020 amid the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. Though the duo planned to relocate to the Dayton Arcade, they ultimately decided the Troy development was most viable for the immediate future.
“We love Dayton and are deeply grateful for all the support the community has shown us,” said Routson. “We are excited for this next chapter, and we are still committed to being part of the Dayton community and finding a new home in downtown Dayton.”
