The former home of Mikesell’s Potato Chip Co. has been sold twice in the two years since the snack food company shut down, new Montgomery County property records indicate.

Most recently, Enfield Conn.-based RACR LLC sold the building at 333 Leo St. in Dayton to STI Holdings for $1.4 million, a bump up from the amount for which the building was acquired last year from Daniel W. Mikesell Inc.

The latest purchase included just over 3.6 acres and a commercial warehouse on Stanley Avenue.

The Dayton company ended snack food production in late January 2023, licensing the brand to another Ohio potato chip business, Conn’s Potato Chips, of Zanesville, which started production under the Mikesell’s brand in that city a couple of weeks later.

Two property parcels were sold in May last year, with the final sale value given at $1.2 million, according to the Montgomery County auditor’s office.

But the most recent auditor’s record says the tax lien was sold, giving the sale date as Thursday. Montgomery County sometimes sells tax liens in an attempt to recover taxes due.

State incorporation papers show that Shakir Khurshudov incorporated STI Holdings in November 2024. The owner lists his address as the address of the building.

The 84,000-square-foot building has office and light manufacturing space.

On Friday, the front of the building appeared to be falling into disrepair, with the Mikesell’s logo partially detached from the facade. A lock secured the front lobby door. There were no clear signs of occupancy or use.
