Yonich’s businesses closed for “reorganizing and restaffing”


Several businesses in downtown Aberdeen owned by entrepreneur John Yonich are closed due to “some reorganizing and restaffing,” Yonich wrote in a short email on Thursday.


“Should be back early next week, Thank You,” his email ended without further detail.


Yonich owns the iconic D&R Theatre and an events center, as well as several food service businesses downtown.


Those businesses include the ice cream parlor Scoops, and Backstage Espresso, both on South I Street in the D&R building, and Amoré Italian restaurant at 116 W. Heron St. Messages can be left at the phone number listed for Backstage Espresso and Scoops, but Amoré’s telephone number has no message.


There is a small sign in the window of Amoré which reads: “Closed for remodel. Sorry for the inconvenience.”


Creedence Clearwater Revisited performed at the D&R Theatre, at 205 S. South I St., on Sept. 8.


Shanine Prochaska, Yonich’s manager in Aberdeen, did not respond to queries by email and could not be reached by phone.


Aberdeen Mayor Bill Simpson and Community Development Director Lisa Scott said they both had heard the businesses were closed, but were not sure why.
