Owner and developer Morris Dock said his 2,000-square-foot shop at 401 South Ave. is the first local venue to serve the Seattle Roast Blue Nile coffee blend. The menu has lattes, cappuccinos and cold brew, as well as pastries, quiches and salads, Dock said. Drinks range $2-$6. Beverage company Ronnoco Cof- fee owns the Seattle Roast brand, and Dock operates the shop under a written agreement that allows him to sell the coffee. Six employ- ees, including managers Brandon Compton and Jill Pearson, staff the shop. Dock also served as gen- eral contractor for the infill work. A city building permit cited an es- timated valuation of $20,000 for the job, though Dock declined to disclose startup costs. He’s seek- ing a tenant for the remaining 9,000 square feet of the downtown property left vacant in 2017 by the closure of Pyramid Foods’ grocery and liquor store Bistro Market. Pyramid Foods also operated the Starbucks store, which shuttered in January.  Hours: 6 a.m.-8 p.m. Monday through Saturday Phone: 417-771-5095 Domino’s Around three months after de- buting a Domino’s restaurant in Marshfield, franchisees Art Hur- teau and Marty Prather of A&M Pizza Inc. opened the national pizza chain’s first store in Wil- lard on Nov. 1. Hurteau said Ross Construction Group LLC was gen- eral contractor for the project, at 407 E. Walnut Lane, with a total investment of roughly $800,000, including equipment and fran- chise fees. General Manager Rick Dolney leads a staff of 26 at the 1,550-square-foot store, Hurteau said, and they plan to expand to 40 employees. Menu items include made-to-order and specialty piz- zas, pastas, hot wings, oven-baked sandwiches, salads and desserts, with prices ranging $7-$19. The new store marks the 49th overall and 33rd in southwest Missouri and northwest Arkansas for the franchisees, Hurteau said. A&M Pizza acquired 15 stores in Arkan- sas in October for an undisclosed price. The company also operates stores in Illinois and Indiana.   Hours: 10:30 a.m.-midnight Sunday through Thursday, and 10:30-1 a.m. Friday and Saturday Phone: 417-685-1515 Web: Dominos.com Bethany and Joe Mizell, F45 Training Send new business info to mcullinan@sbj.net F45 Training Springfield couple Joe and Betha- ny Mizell opened a local franchise of Australia-based F45 Training on Oct. 17 at 1937 W.
