Flyboys Deli has signed a lease to open a new restaurant on the ground floor of a CareSource building at 219 N. Patterson Boulevard, CareSource officials and the restaurant’s owners announced this morning in a joint release.
The new deli will open next to the Winans Chocolates & Coffee shop that opened Jan. 13 at 221 N. Patterson Blvd. Plans call for construction to be completed over the next few months in the ground-floor retail spaces that the building’s owner is calling CareSource Ballpark Village.
“We could have added more office space in that area but we wanted to do something more,” David Clapper, director of facilities management at CareSource, said in a release. “We decided to add amenities that improve the experience of the people who live, work and play in the downtown area including our employees.”
About 800 employees work in the building, a CareSource spokesman said.
The husband-and-wife owners of Flyboys Deli, Steve Crandall and Eunice Kim, operate a deli on Far Hills Avenue in Oakwood, and they shut down their second location at the Mall at Fairfield Commons two months ago.
Crandall said the new location’s proximity to Day Air Ballpark, the Great Miami River, local offices and several new apartment and condos project makes the location “just perfect for us.”
CareSource “has been super accommodating and a real partner throughout the entire process,” Crandall said in the release.
Texas Beef & Cattle Company founder and owner James Nuñez, who operates a restaurant in the Wright-Dunbar District west of downtown, had submitted a letter of intent in July 2019 to lease the space. But no lease was ever signed, and CareSource resumed its search for a restaurant tenant.
