Here’s a look at recent changes in the business landscape in the Sioux Falls area.

Steve Hartman now will be the sole owner of WoodGrain Brewing Co. His co-founders, Jason Currie-Olson and Ryan Van Tol, are selling their shares to him. The trio opened WoodGrain at 101 S. Phillips Ave. nine years ago.

Online business Greatstuff4you Coins & Curios has expanded with a storefront. James Peterson opened the coin and antiques shop at 945 S. Marion Road. It’s open daily.

Emerged from bankruptcy with a new owner, rue21 has reopened at The Empire Mall in its former space in the JCPenney wing.

Two new restaurants from one operator are coming to the food court at The Empire Mall. Semir Secic is opening a Stir Fry Express in the location that most recently was Jacky’s. The self-serve Chinese concept is expected to open by early October. His second concept, El Burrito, will take over the former Taco John’s space. It will be similar to other build-your-own burrito restaurants and is expected to open in March next year.

Downtown boutique Veza is planning to close this fall. The store at 330 S. Phillips Ave. was acquired by Ondrea Stachel about three years ago. It was founded as TH Grey, an online venture, in 2016, expanding into a storefront the following year. “There isn’t enough traffic to sustain” the business, Stachel said. Gift cards will be valid until Oct. 31.

American Bank & Trust has started work on new branch in Tea. The building at Gateway Lane and Heritage Parkway will replace a branch acquired when the bank added Valley Exchange Bank in a merger last year. The new location is expected to open next summer or fall.

A new restaurant in northwest Sioux Falls features the flavors of El Salvador, Mexico, Guatemala and the U.S. Angel Ruiz owns Sabor Latino at 4110 W. Maple St. It’s open daily.

Spoke-N-Sport is closing its store at 2019 S. Minnesota Ave. to concentrate operations and expand services at its 3401 S. Cliff Ave. location. The final day for the Minnesota Avenue site is Sept. 28. The bike and ski shop will expand in the retail center on Cliff, more than doubling in size.

Furniture and home decor store EllyO Home is closing sometime in October. Owner Ellyse Carter, who will continue to do staging for homes on the market, expanded into retail in 2017. The store at 1908 W. 42nd St. is open from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday and by appointment.

Central Dakota Perk in Tea is closed until the owners can find a new location for the coffee kiosk. It opened in a parking lot three years ago, but the site is no longer available. The Harrisburg location remains open, and gift cards can be used there until a Tea site reopens.

The managers of the Office Bar in Montrose did not renew their lease with the city and have closed it.
