The Tipp City Frisch’s at 16 Weller Dr. is set to close at the end of the day on Dec. 20, according to an employee that answered the phone on Thursday.
These two restaurants join a growing list of locations that have already closed. This includes:
- 1095 S. Main St., Englewood
- 8154 Old Troy Pike, Huber Heights
- 2861 Wilmington Pike, Kettering
- 1330 Columbus Ave., Lebanon
- 8181 Springboro Pike, Miami Twp.
- 3560 S. Dixie Highway, Middletown
- 1831 N. Bechtle Ave., Springfield
- 20 Troy Town Dr., Troy
- 38 W. Main St., Xenia
Two Frisch’s Restaurant Inc. executives, Don Short and Cheryl White, are leading a buyout of “select” locations from the company’s Atlanta-based owner.
“We are very grateful and extremely excited to have the opportunity to carry this beloved icon forward,” Short said in a press release. “Some Frisch’s units are no longer viable. However, other units are well situated to move forward, and we plan to invest in those locations and add new units in the years ahead.”
The press release doesn’t specify which stores will stay open due to the sale, but hints at the difficulties faced by nonviable locations.
“The company has made efforts to negotiate a resolution for all the viable units to stay open permanently, or at least through the holidays, to save thousands of employees’ jobs and benefits, but to no avail,” said the release.
In the last two years, several other Frisch’s locations have closed in the Miami Valley, including 1231 N. Fairfield Road in Beavercreek and 4830 S. Dixie Drive in Moraine.
