Deadstock Coffee, a beloved coffee shop in Portland, is making a significant move. After ten years at its original location in Old Town, the shop will close its doors but not for long. It will reopen next year in The Hoxton hotel, just a short distance away. This change comes as part of a plan to create a larger community space for coffee lovers and sneaker enthusiasts alike. Owner Ian Williams emphasizes the importance of community and connection, stating that the new location will allow for more gatherings and events focused on coffee culture and sneaker education.
• The original Deadstock location will close after a farewell celebration.
• The new shop will be located at The Hoxton hotel, set to open in early March.
• The move aims to enhance community engagement and provide a creative hub.
• Deadstock’s Beaverton location will remain open and operational.
This transition is crucial for the local community. It highlights the resilience of small businesses in Portland and their role in revitalizing the downtown area. By staying in Old Town, Deadstock contributes to the neighborhood's culture and supports its sneaker scene, which has faced challenges in recent years. The new location offers an opportunity to reach a broader audience while maintaining local roots.
