O’Charley’s Restaurant & Bar locations at 7030 Miller Lane in Dayton and 2260 Miamisburg Centerville Road in Miami Twp. permanently closed as of Monday, Aug. 21.

“It is always a difficult decision to close a store but based on a variety of industry challenges and the macro-economic environment over the last few years, we closed these O’Charley’s locations,” O’Charley’s CEO W. Craig Barber said in a statement.

Early Monday morning both locations had a sign posted on the door that read, ”Sorry, we’re closed permanently. O’Charley’s thanks you for your patronage and we hope to see you soon!”
