Lost Signal Brewing Co.
Springfield’s fourth brewery opened Feb. 11 at 610 W. College St., after construction delays pushed back plans. Lost Signal Brewing Co. occupies 4,000 square feet in the former KICK radio station building, which Nesbitt Construction Inc. crews gutted and renovated to the tune of $150,000, according to city building permits. Owner
Tyler Hoke leases the building on an indefinite term from his father Jack Hoke, who bought the building in March. Tyler Hoke is a Springfield native who attended The Siebel Institute of Technology in Chicago to study brewing science. His self-funded brewery joins Springfield Brewing Co., Mother’s Brewing Co. and White River Brewing Co. in Springfield. Lost Signal serves barbecue from its kitchen and seats roughly 80 indoor and another 40 on an outdoor patio. Hoke said beers on tap, priced $4-$5 for 16 ounces, include an American pale ale and a smoked pecan porter.

Vasken’s Deli LLC
Vasken’s Deli LLC moved Feb. 1 to 3522 S. National Ave. following the expiration of its three-year lease in Battlefield Market Place. Owners
Staci and
Vasken Haroutounian chose the new site to be closer to Cox South and the hospital employees. The signature dish is Vasken’s gyro sandwich, and other Mediterranean cuisine includes hummus, baba ganoush, tabouli, shawarma and falafel due to Vasken’s Arminian and Lebanese heritage. The Haroutounians lease 2,000 square feet from South National Centers LLC on a three-year term. After running the business in Little Rock, Arkansas, the couple moved to Branson and opened the deli in 1997.
