South Park couldn’t be prouder of our very own Brent Johnson and Joshua Stuckey, for all they’ve done to revive and promote the neighborhood, for their successful ventures that have added hugely to the City’s vibrancy and for their AIDS philanthropy. Their energy and creativity have been a bright spot for many years now, as has their belief in the potential of Dayton.

So we are delighted to share the news that their renowned and successful salon, Square One, which they run with partner Doug Henderson, is expanding into Columbus and adding 20 new jobs to the region! And, we hasten to add, many of their employees also live in Dayton historic districts!

They set an inspiring example for the rest of us who are considering investing, or are currently investing, in downtown and creating business models based on unique experiences and outstanding service, that succeed beautifully.

Here’s the article in the Dayton Business Journal.
