Judge extends order shutting down Kettering sports bar
A judge has extended her order shutting down All Stars Sports & Wings in Kettering for at least another week.
A hearing on Thursday, Nov. 5, to determine whether Montgomery County Common Pleas Judge Barbara Gorman would grant a preliminary injunction shutting down the sports bar did not wrap up as expected. Gorman will hear additional testimony Tuesday, Nov. 10 and promised a decision by Thursday, Nov. 12 that will determine whether All-Stars can reopen or must remain closed as a civil lawsuit against the sports bar and its owner, Todd Hicks of Beavercreek, moves forward. In the meantime, however, Gorman extended the temporary restraining order that All-Stars must close.
All Stars Sports & Wings opened Sept. 13 in the 4139 Wilmington Pike building that housed a Grindstone Charley’s restaurant until early 2008. The lawsuit against the sports bar and its owner was filed by 8-Ball & Wings, 4515 Salem Ave., Trotwood, and its owner Theodore Somerset, who purchased the sports bar from Hicks in April 2009.
Hicks signed a “non-compete” agreement as part of the sale in which Hicks agreed he would not become involved with a competing sports bar within a radius of 20 miles of the sports bar on Salem Avenue. The lawsuit contends that All-Sports “lies within 20 miles” of 8-Ball & Wings, and that the Trotwood sports bar has suffered a loss of revenue from “the diversion of customers from plaintiff’s business to defendant’s business” and by confusion over the 8-Ball & Wings trademark.
Hicks testified Thursday that his new business is very different from his former one — more of a family restaurant rather than a bar. Somerset testified that the businesses are similar and have a similar menu focus on chicken wings

TweetCollege student to open restaurant in Miami Twp.
MIAMI TWP., Montgomery County — A new Indian restaurant is poised to open at 9632 Springboro Pike (Ohio 741) — and it’s owned by a college senior who will operate the restaurant with help from his family.
Named Namaste India, the 1,700-square feet restaurant has seating for about 36 people and is located in the strip shopping center that also houses a Scrambler Marie’s restaurant. Its goal is to “provide our customers with the best tasting and largest varieties of Indian food without the long wait and high prices,” according to its web site, which says it will offer “North Indian, South Indian, Gujarati, Indo-Chinese, Chaats and even our exclusive Indian Wraps.” Click here to read the restaurant’s menu.
Namaste India is owned by Sunny Thakkar, a senior at the University of Cincinnati finishing up a psychology degree.
In an email, Thakkar wrote, “We want to bring something fairly new to Dayton — Indian fast food, where there will be a large variety, delivered fast and at a low cost.”
Thakkar said his parents have been successful restaurateurs, “and I want to follow in their footsteps.” His parents and sister will provide “a helping hand” in operating the restaurant, Thakkar said.
The restaurant will open soon, but no date has been set yet, the restaurant owner said. When it does open, Namaste India’s phone number will be (937) 433-0101.
