Troy restaurant closes, will be replaced by Logan’s Roadhouse
TROY — Kent’s Wood Fired Steaks has closed and intends to relocate, and its location at 1750 W. Main St. will become the site of a newly constructed Logan’s Roadhouse, according to restaurant owner Kent Wolters and Troy city officials.
The site is the former CJ’s HighMarks Restaurant, which closed in 2008. Kent’s Wood Fired Steaks opened in October 2009.
The property’s new owners plan to demolish the existing building and build a new 6,500-square-foot Logan’s Roadhouse restaurant closer to West Main Street, according to Tim Davis, planning and zoning manager for the city of Troy. City officials have approved building plans, site plans and construction plans for the project, Davis said.
The closing of Kent’s Wood Fired Steaks at the end of business on Easter Sunday affected 29 employees, Wolters said.
Wolters said his restaurant had built up a loyal following of customers stretching from Dayton to Lima. But he said the facility did not match his restaurant, and he let the restaurant’s lease expire. Wolters intends to reopen in a location outside of Troy, but has not pinpointed a location and does not yet have a timeline.
Wherever it relocates, the new Kent’s intends to honor all gift cards sold at the Troy location, Wolters said.
Heather MacDonald, a spokeswoman for the Nashville-based Logan’s Roadhouse chain, said Wednesday she would gather information about the Troy project but had no immediate comment. The chain oversees more than 180 company-operated and 26 franchised Logan’s Roadhouse restaurants in 23 states. Its two Dayton-area restaurants are located in Miami Twp. near the Dayton Mall and in Beavercreek near the Mall at Fairfield Commons.
