The clock shop owner said his industry is struggling nationwide. “This is not just a Dayton problem,” he said. But the clock repair business, he said, remains strong, and “has always been our strong suit. It’s the backbone of our business.”
A going-out-of-business sale will get into full swing for the public on or about May 20, Yegerlehner said. He expects to occupy the building until August or September.
Yegerlehner hasn’t yet found a new location for the repair business and wine shop. “Ideally, we’ll be situated somewhere in Beavercreek in close proximity to one another, or perhaps even next door to one another,” he said.
Dan Craven, who oversees Bruning’s wine shop that was added to the clock store in 2008, said he believes wine sales will improve with a separate storefront. Currently, the wine shop must close at 6 p.m. most weekdays because that’s when the clock store closes.
Bruning’s had three stores in the Dayton area — in Miami Twp. near the Dayton Mall, in Huber Heights and in Yellow Springs — before Yegerlehner consolidated operations in the Beavercreek store about a decade ago, Craven said.
