Dolly’s, which is owned by Michigan-based Big Boy Resturant Group (BBRG), has locations slotted for:
- Huber Heights: 8154 Old Troy Pike
- Englewood: 1095 S. Main Street
- Fairborn: 3110 Colonel Glenn Highway
- Kettering: 2861 Wilmington Pike
- Bellbrook: 6188 Wilmington Pike
- Xenia: 386 W. Main St.
These locations are hiring now and mostly recruiting managers and shift leaders, according to a BBRG spokesperson.
Several customers told News Center 7 that they don’t care about the name, they just want the same food.
Miamisburg resident Bentley Marshall said he didn’t even know Frisch’s restaurants were closing.
“I just started seeing the closing signs and less people around there,” Marshall said. “I was a little upset because I really liked Frisch’s.”
Court documents said Frisch’s did not pay more than $4 million in rent.
The company that owned the properties forced Frisch’s to evict.
In November, our media partners at WCPO-9 TV reported that employees were told they could sign transfer documents or lose their jobs.
As previously reported by News Center 7, Big Boy Restaurant Group (BBRG) said it would focus on hiring people who lost their jobs in February.
A BBRG spokesperson could not confirm if this was true on Monday.
Marshall said he hopes the company hires back Frisch’s employees.
“I think they should, since a lot of people are put out of work and out of a job, and those people have families and stuff to feed,” he said.
Marshall said he’s ready to try the food, but he hopes it has the same feel as Frisch’s.
“The food was good, everybody there was just always, always a good time,” Marshall said.
News Center 7 will continue to follow this story.
