Make no mistake, Kleather’s might be BIGGER than they once were, but they maintain the same family values they had when everything first began.

What do you love about Dayton?

Dayton is home. We (Earl and Megan) were both born and raised in Centerville. We moved around and traveled after high school, but when we became pregnant with our first daughter, we moved back home. In our eight years back, it has been really interesting to watch downtown Dayton and the surrounding areas grow. Small businesses are so important to any community, so we really hope to see everyone’s continued support, both for Power Plant Juice Bar, the local growers, doers, creators and such!

What do you love about Dayton? There are a variety of reasons that make Dayton such a great place to live and grow a business, but one thing in particular that sticks out to us is the community support that surrounds this great town. From the numerous tornados that devastated so many surrounding areas to the mass shooting in the Oregon District, I have never seen so much support rise through the communities. We opened our doors for donations as soon as the tornados ripped through and it will also sit on my heart how many people came to donate, things I would never even have thought to give. To this day, I regularly see #daytonstrong supporters and it will always put a smile on my face and warm my heart.

Who are you?

We are the Pedal Wagon! Known as a multi-passenger, pedal-powered, rolling celebration that connects family, friends, and even strangers as they uncover each city’s rich history, best-kept secret establishments, historic districts, breweries, and much more! We currently role in four cities; Cincinnati, Columbus and Dayton, OH and Covington, Kentucky.

What do you do?

The Pedal Wagon offers a variety of rides for each city’s residents and visiting tourists to enjoy. In Dayton, we primarily pedal around the Downtown and Oregon Districts, and can even reach St Anne’s Hill, Huffman Historic District and Brown Street near the University of Dayton. We give 2-hour rides that revolve around visiting bars and restaurants for pub-crawls, food tastings, and popular landmarks, parks, and local murals for picturesque photos! While we are mostly known for our adult and alcohol rides, we are kid and family friendly too! Most folks ride us as a reason to celebrate; whether a job promotion, graduation, birthday, upcoming wedding, bachelorette/bachelor parties, corporate outing, team building exercise or just for fun!

What makes your business special?

We are one of the only businesses of our kind in the United States that allows kids onboard! Our pedal industry is predominately known as an alcohol party experience, however we allow our guests to create their own experience, and try our best to include everyone! We can do kid-friendly birthday parties, grade school & high school field trips, and family reunions! Whatever the group or the reason, we go above and beyond to make it work for the customer.

What do you love about Dayton?

Honestly; everything. This is our third season rolling in the Downtown area, and we couldn’t have asked for a better reception from the City, the local police and government, the residents, our customers, and the businesses we partner with. If we had to pick one thing we love the most about Dayton; it would be the people. #daytonstrong

Who are you? We are the Neighborhood Nest Gluten-Free Baked Goods. A dedicated Glute-Free baking facility that accommodates many other food allergies and sensitivities.

I also own a second business that we run out of the same space: Anarchy Foods is a Keto-Friendly, low carb, grain-free, sugar-free line of baked goods. I was challenged to develop a line of baked goods that met the keto guidelines but had great flavor and texture. So with some culinary know-how I was able to develop a brand new flour blend using nut and seed flours that has become a big hit and is now a full 30% of our annual sales so far just through word of mouth!

What do you do? We are a full service, dedicated gluten-free bakery that also accommodates the top allergies and food sensitivities. (Dairy, Egg, Tree Nut, Peanut, Soy, Corn) Both my daughter and I have celiac disease. In addition, my daughter also has a dairy allergy and my son-in-law has a peanut allergy. I take what I do here very seriously in order to control cross contamination so that we can give the allergy community the staple baked goods and sweet treats that they have gone without until now. We have several wholesale accounts in the area in order to make getting our products more convenient for peeps who live further south and north. At the moment we have amazing customers that drive an hour or more to come get our baked goods because of the outstanding quality and texture that we provide.

As far as Anarchy Foods and the Keto line, we are overwhelmed with the love and support we are getting from not only Keto diet customers but are also the needs of the diabetic community and those who suffer from seizure disorders. This line, though a challenge to produce in our facility due to the nut content, has become another way to serve a special dietary needs community.

What makes your business special? What makes us special is that fact that we are a dedicated facility for those with food allergies. We have separate days for baking with nuts and dairy so that we reduce the danger of cross contamination. We label every different recipe baked on the allergy from the bowl we measure it in, to the pan to we bake it in, to the rack we cool it on, to the packaging it gets put in for retail. Employees are trained in cross contamination and the dangers of what serious results come with it. We are able to give children with anaphylactic allergies things they’ve never had in their lives like donuts, cinnamon rolls, birthday cakes, and even cookies.
