Bubba’s 33, a spinoff concept by Texas Roadhouse, is seeking to open the chain’s first location in the Miami Valley at the former TGI Fridays on Centre Drive in Beavercreek.
The plan calls for the old Fridays restaurant to be torn down and replaced with a new 7,105 square foot building. The plan also calls for 145 parking spaces around the restaurant.
The restaurant is described as a ‘moderately priced, casual dining’ with specialties including burgers, pizza, wings, and other entrees. One resident hopes they will offer some gluten-free options as well.
Theresa O’Daniel and her friend were interested in hearing that a new restaurant chain is looking to open its first location in the Miami Valley.
“My husband has celiac, and he can’t have anything with wheat or gluten. So, it’s exciting. Hopefully, they’ll have something; there are a few restaurants already,” O’Daniel said.
The Beavercreek Planning Commission approved the plan during its meeting on Wednesday night. The plan now moves to the city commission for final approval.
If the plan receives final approval, construction will start in March.
Developers are expected to tear down the old Fridays and build from the ground up.
The Beavercreek location would be Bubba’s 33’s third Ohio location, with current locations in Toledo and Canton.
The TGI Fridays location has been closed since November, when the company filed for bankruptcy.
