Goodwill Easter Seals Miami Valley will convert a steak house on Miller Lane that it purchased into a retail thrift store.

Goodwill paid $1.4 million for the building and 1.7-acre lot, purchasing it Thursday from Frick & Frack LLC, according to Montgomery County property records.

There was no immediate word on when the retail store would open, Fowler said.
