JoAnne Bason, center, with some of the shop’s employees.
Two years later in October of 2022, another great change came to pass. The Basons acquired the old bank on Mill Street and turned it into a coffee shop. The old Montour County Trust (and prior location of the Danville Police Department) was renovated to become the new retail location for Bason Coffee. Prior to that, the retail store was located at the current production facility on E. Mahoning St. The need for more production space, the need for a coffee shop downtown, and the ability to offer more options for their customers led to the start of their new retail location. With this new location, Bason Coffee was able to offer seating, food, more drink options, and a place for folks to meet over their favorite coffees. The one unique area at the new retail store is the old vault. The Montour County Trust Co. had installed a wonder- ful vault that the police had used as their evidence locker. Now it is a favorite place for folks to sit and chat. It is also where Santa comes every December to meet all of the kids and listen to what they want for Christmas.
