Press Release:
Yagööt Heads Home
COLUMBUS - December 2, 2012 – Yagööt, a Cincinnati-based frozen yogurt brand, announced today its withdrawal from the Columbus market. Yagoot's Easton Town Center location opened in March 2010, and will close December 24, 2012. An announcement to current employees was given today.“It's become logistically challenging to operate and manage a single store so far from our core market,” said Dan Busken, CEO of Yagööt. “Our location in Easton Town Center was an A+, in terms of prime Easton real estate. And although profitable since day one, it simply pulled too much of our attention away from focusing our growth locally in Cincinnati.”
Yagoot is headquartered in Cincinnati, which includes the operation of four other retail locations.
“Our goal in expanding to Columbus was to test our concept and our abilities outside our current geographic base,” said Busken. “This proved to be a greater challenge than expected for a privately owned company with limited resources.”
The move from Columbus is an opportunity for the company to focus its resources on the Greater Cincinnati/NKY market.
Beau Amason, EVP of Easton Town Center and Co-Develop of Steiner + Associates commented, “Easton Town Center prides itself on the quality of its tenants and its tenant mix. Adding Yagoot in 2010 was an opportunity to offer a best-in-class tenant who filled a specific niche in our dining options. They have been an outstanding tenant partner, but we certainly understand their decision to focus on their core market.”

Has anyone been to the Walmart at Easton lately? That has to be one of the trashiest places I have been to. I think before adding the Gateway, they need to restructure the area across the street and make it more friendly.

Sidenote: It's amazing the difference in cleanliness, customer base, vibe, product quality, etc, between Target and Walmart.

A dollar or two difference for the same items will do that. Some people don't want to see the real "Central Ohio" when the are out shopping, so they pay the extra to be with each other in the middle class that can afford the extra bucks.
I do have to say though that Walmart is AMAZINGLY cheap. If we are down by Stringtown, we always stop in be buy Cereal. Its always a buck or two cheaper than we can get it at Kroger or Giant Eagle on sale.

There are big reasons Wal-Mart is cheaper, none of them good. One only need look at the Wal-Mart Mexico corruption scandal to understand their operation.

So was the new parking garage designed to one day house stores? It looks like it was since there are store fronts and the parking spaces near them have around a 20 foot ceilingAt first I thought the bottom of the garage would house retail from day one. It certainly looks that way, but I haven't seen anything official about eventual conversion plans.
