The Times - Serving Waitsburg, Dayton and the Touchet Valley

DAYTON – The Times has learned that buyers have entered into an agreement to purchase Dayton’s Country Cupboard restaurant and bakery. According to good sources, paperwork was signed on Saturday for the purchase of the building and business from owners Rayleen and Chuck Sursley.

The transaction is expected to be completed and closed around the end of January. Information was not disclosed regarding the identity of the buyers, since the transaction is still pending.

When the new owners take over, they are expected to continue running a restaurant and bakery in the building.

The Sursleys purchased the former Freddy’s Grocery building and opened the Country Cupboard in 2004. They moved to Dayton from the Seattle area, where they had run a similar restaurant/bakery/deli business.
