Six more Greater Cincinnati Frisch’s Big Boy restaurants are set to close after a Hamilton County magistrate granted their evictions at a hearing Wednesday morning.
The following restaurants have been given seven days to leave the premises:
- Blue Ash (9070 Plainfield Road)
- Bridgetown (4227 Bridgetown Road)
- Colerain Township (9830 Colerain Ave.)
- Delhi Township (5202 Delhi Ave.)
- Norwood (4765 Montgomery Road)
- Symmes Township (12150 Mason Montgomery Road)
Four more Hamilton County Frisch’s will have their eviction hearings on Wednesday, Nov. 6:
- Anderson Township (7706 Beechmont Ave.)
- Forest Park (11990 Chase Plaza)
- Harrison (1181 Stone Drive)
- Montfort Heights (5351 North Bend Road)
In September, Frisch’s landlord, Orlando real estate company NNN Reit, filed eviction notices for more than 20 Southwestern Ohio Frisch’s locations, including 17 in Hamilton, Clermont, Butler, Warren and Highland counties. According to Hamilton County court documents, in February, NNN sent notice to Frisch’s that its rent, totaling over $4.5 million, was overdue and failure to pay would result in being in default under the lease agreement. A notice of default was sent to the restaurant chain in August, followed by a three-day notice to leave the premises at affected restaurants in September.
On Tuesday, a Clermont County judge ordered two area Frisch’s restaurants to vacate their premises: one at 1283 SR-28 in Loveland and another at 551 W. Plane Road in Bethel. Two other restaurants in Warren County — one in Lebanon and the other in Franklin — have already closed.
According to court documents, Frisch’s says it tried to work with NNN to avoid evictions, including the suggestion to work together to close stores on a schedule, but states NNN rejected those efforts.
Other locations scheduled for eviction hearings include Batavia, Fairfield, Hillsboro and Middletown.
Frisch’s was acquired by NRD Partners I, a private equity growth and expansion fund based in Atlanta, in 2015. Since then, over 40 of Frisch’s locations have closed, with just 38 left in the Greater Cincinnati area now, according to its website.
