A grand opening is scheduled for this morning at Cheddar's Casual Cafe's first Dayton-area location, located in the Cornerstone of Centerville development on Wilmington Pike at Feedwire Road in Centerville.

A ribbon-cutting is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. today, Monday June 20, prior to the restaurant opening at 11 a.m., according to William Rike, member services manager for the South Metro Regional Chamber of Commerce.

A spokeswoman for the new restaurant’s local franchisee has said the Cheddar’s will open with 175 to 200 employees.

The 8,640-square-foot, 356-seat restaurant adjacent to Costco Wholesale in the Cornerstone development is the first Dayton-area location for the Kentucky-based Cheddar’s, which operates 45 restaurants in Kentucky, Indiana, Tennessee, West Virginia, Virginia and North Carolina and Ohio.

Cheddar’s is a casual-dining restaurant, open for lunch and dinner, with a menu that offers smoked BBQ ribs, grilled salmon, chicken tenders, country-style fried chicken, salads and sandwiches.

Hours of the new restaurant are Sunday through Thursday 11 a.m. to 10:30 p.m., and Friday and Saturday 11 a.m. to 11:30 p.m.

A Bagger Dave’s Burger Tavern, Chick-fil-A and Domino’s Pizza shop have already opened at the Cornerstone of Centerville site. A Kroger store is under construction, and a Cabela’s outdoor store recently opened at the multi-use development.
