Five Frisch’s Big Boy restaurants, including the iconic Mainliner restaurant in Fairfax, have been ordered to vacate their locations in the latest round of evictions against the legendary restaurant chain.
Iconic Mainliner among the last victims of the battle of Frisch
Hamilton County Magistrate Michael Inderhees on Friday granted eviction notices against the following Frisch’s, two of which had already closed:
-
5760 Wooster Pike in Fairfax, the company’s historic Mainliner location
-
1001 Gest St. in Queensgate
-
2439 E Sharon Rd in Sharonville
-
5216 Glenway Ave. in West Price Hill (closed)
-
1575 W. Galbraith Road in North College Hill (closed).
Frisch’s Mainliner location has been a fixture in the Cincinnati area since it opened in 1939. It is named after the first three-engine passenger plane to operate from nearby Lunken Airport, according to Frisch’s website.
Restaurants have ten days to evacuate
According to Inderhees’ ruling, The Mainlier and the other four restaurants have ten days from Friday to vacate their locations.
Orlando-based NNN Reit, which owns 66 Frisch’s restaurants, filed eviction proceedings against the five Frisch’s restaurants on Nov. 21.
More than twenty Frisch’s have already been ordered to leave
It was the latest in a series of eviction actions filed by the landlord, who has been shuttering restaurants in the Greater Cincinnati area for months after the restaurants failed to pay more than $4.5 million in back rent.
Seven restaurants in Northern Kentucky have also been ordered to evacuate, including locations in Boone, Kenton and Campbell counties, the Lexington Herald-Leader reported.
Before Friday, court documents revealed that “more than 20” properties in southwest Ohio were at risk of foreclosure — or a quarter of the nearly 80 Frisch’s Restaurants locations in Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana.
