At least seven Frisch’s restaurants have closed throughout the Dayton region this month including Butler Twp., Fairborn, Sugarcreek Twp. and Tipp City.

With 11 locations still open in Ohio, according to the company’s website, here’s a list of Frisch’s open locally:

  • 11122 Hamilton Ave., Forest Park
  • 1255 Main St., Hamilton
  • 5570 Liberty Fairfield Road, Liberty Twp.
  • 2120 W. Michigan St., Sidney
  • 2201 E Main St., Springfield
  • 8545 Cincinnati-Dayton Road, West Chester Twp.

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 news 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 news release hinted 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.
