MIAMI TWP., Montgomery County — P.F. Chang’s ChinaBistro is laying off 299 workers across the state, including 26 at its location near the Dayton Mall.

The restaurant is located at 2626 Miamisburg-Centerville Road in Miami Township.

In a WARN Notice to the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services, the restaurant says the layoffs are in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which forced it to temporarily reduce hours among employees.

“The reduction of work hours at this location are the unfortunate result of sudden, unexpected COVID-19-related circumstances that were conditions outside of the Company’s control and for which the continued duration is still unknown,” said the chain’s Human Resource Business Partner, Kim Murdock. “The reduction of hours lasting beyond six months was not reasonably foreseeable until now.”

P.F. Chang’s has not said how long the layoffs could last or if they are permanent.
