Matt Fish, the owner, said his team made the difficult decision of closing their Dayton location at Fairfield Commons Mall on Monday as well as the Canton location.
“Navigating the restaurant industry in the post-pandemic world is becoming more and more difficult,” said Fish. “The world and the industry are rapidly changing around us. We realized in late 2022, that a smaller restaurant group would be much better for us to manage regarding operations and guest experience, while setting ourselves up for future success.”
He said it was a difficult decision for many reasons.
“It’s been a great five years at both locations,” Fish added, “This move will put the company in a much better position for continued success.”
He said all Melt Bar and Grilled locations through Northeast Ohio and Columbus remain open and are doing well, WOIO sports.
“We’ve loved being a part of the Dayton and Canton community and want to thank all of our loyal guests and neighbors,” Fish said. “We’ve cherished the past 5 years and thank you all for your support! We truly hope our friends and loyal guests will continue to visit us at our other Melt Bar and Grilled locations.”
