The Lawrenceburg location remain open for now.

(Lawrenceburg, Ind.) – Frisch’s Big Boy in Lawrenceburg could be closing.

The restaurant's general manager told Eagle Country 99.3 on Wednesday that the restaurant has received an eviction notice. Several Frisch's locations in the tri-state area have received the same notice and have already closed or are set to close in the near future.

The corporate office was not able to be reached for comment.

In a press release, a group of senior management of Frisch’s Restaurant, Inc. led by Don Short and Cheryl White, both of whom have been with the Frisch’s company for decades, have acquired multiple locations and future development rights of the brand.

Short issued the following statement in a recent press release:

"We are very grateful and extremely excited to have the opportunity to carry this beloved icon forward. Like many other family dining restaurant brands which have struggled due to the devasting impact of COVID 19, coupled with unprecedented cost inflation pressures, some Frisch’s units are no longer viable. However, other units are well situated to move forward, and we plan to invest in those locations and add new units in the years ahead”, he added.

The company has made efforts to negotiate a resolution for all the viable units to stay open permanently, or at least through the holidays, to save thousands of employees’ jobs and benefits, but to no avail.

However, Frisch’s continues to work to operate as many restaurants as possible while facing eviction proceedings on select units.

Frisch’s Big Boy was founded in 1947.
