HamilTEN: 10 New Businesses to enjoy in 2020

Tano Bistro

Originally from the Loveland area, Tano Bistro is also among those who opened doors at The Marcum last year. Owner Gaetano “Tano” Williams partners his award-winning skill with locally sourced ingredients, making Tano Bistro a must-stop downtown. In addition to the delicious menu, guests can enjoy a beautiful view of the park from the outdoor seating area.

Chubby Bunny Bakery

Now that the holidays are over, resolutions are upon us. Why not let Chubby Bunny help make it a little sweeter? Newly opened on Main Street, this treat spot opens the doors for Hamiltonians with all kinds of dietary restrictions. Chubby Bunny offers a variety of choices that will satisfy any hankering, and all those delectable delights are made in a gluten free, egg free, dairy free, and nut free environment. It doesn’t get any simpler than that!

Fretboard Brewing & Public House

Fretboard Brewing & Public House

After the sudden closer of Quarter Barrel, speculations have flown regarding what new and exciting business would be moving into the space. The end of 2019 brought answers when Fretboard opened up in late December. Originally from the Blue Ash area, Fretboard offers a full bar and menu that will be available on all floors.

Londyn Nutrition

After successfully opening his own gym, Derrick Partman decided to expand his nutritional footprint by adding Londyn Nutrition to the list of budding businesses. This shop offers delicious smoothies that provide Hamiltonians a healthier option when that sweet tooth starts to take over. Whether its caramel banana cheesecake or lemon pound cake, all of the smoothies made at Londyn Nutrition are chock full of vitamins, as well as gluten free and vegan friendly.

Chipotle

Hamiltonians have heard the rumors for years, but the wait is finally over. Chipotle has come to town! This isn’t just any ordinary Chipotle though, because this one has a high priority feature: the Chipotlane! That’s right, the Hamilton Chipotle located on Main Street has its very own drive thru. Be sure to cruise through and check it out.

Revive Salon

While the bulk of The Marcum is apartments, the first floor also houses many business amenities for Hamilton residents, including Revive Salon. Owner Gina Stitzel brings 20 years of experience to the chair, in addition to her drive and determination to offer top quality products and services to Hamilton. This salon uses products from the Aveda line, a company owned by the well-known Estee Lauder company.

Wildfire Home & Gifts

Finding meaningful artisan-crafted gifts just got easier for the Hamilton area, with the opening of Wildfire Home & Gifts on High Street. Owner Sarah Dankhoff joined the small business community, offering goods such as inspirational décor and locally made bath bombs and fragrances. This eclectic little shop is sure to put you on the right path to achieving greatness in 2020.

Scripted Studio

Hamilton has a new secret gem nestled in on Main Street, and it’s called Scripted Studio. This little shop covers all your stationary needs and then some with a wide variety of cards, gift wrap, planners, and more. Owner Carrie O’Neal has years of experience in the retail industry, having owned and operated O’Neal Designs in Fairfield since 2001. Hamilton is lucky to have this new addition!

A Game Knight

The sudden closure of A Game Knight mid-year left many Hamilton residents shocked. After a change in ownership, the business has reopened ready to take on the new year. The new owners have incorporated live music and other events as the primary focus, but the board games will still be available for those who want them. Pop in and enjoy the new menu!

The Bension Event Center

With the revitalization that Hamilton is in the midst of, it should come as no surprise that the 100-year old building located on Third Street has been transformed into a beautiful new event center. Many of the original features of the building were retained and incorporated to maintain the historical beauty of the space. The Benison offers a gorgeous layout and an unforgettable experience every time.
