Longtime Dayton-area greenhouse to close

A business in Englewood will close its doors after a drop in sales.

Feller’s Greenhouse & Giftshop, located at 1885 E. Westbrook Road, will close its doors after the remaining inventory is sold.

“Our sales have dropped dramatically and we couldn’t sustain it any longer,” said Tom Brandt, the store owner.

Brandt, who bought the business in 2015, said the business had a long history in the community since its opening in 1972. The garden store sells gardening tools, dirt and mulch, bird seed, dog food and flowers.

Brandt said he didn’t know why sales had dropped.

“Obviously, the community is upset,” he said. “Unfortunately, the sales were too low. We had to make a hard decision to close the business.”

The owner said he was grateful to the local community for their support, and is now focused on preparing the business for closure within the next few weeks.
