Frisch’s in Butler County among seven locations closing permanently

Frisch’s Big Boy has joined the list of restaurants nationwide choosing to not reopen locations while maintaining others as drive-thru- and carryout-only locations for the time being.

Frisch’s officials told this news outlet the permanent closures in Ohio and Kentucky, including one in Butler County, were due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
