Chilli’s Wings and Rings is located on North Gettysburg Avenue in Dayton and will be expanding to Kettering.
The restaurant serves chicken wings and tenders as well as a variety of fried fish dishes.
News Center 7’s Amber Jenkins visited the Dayton Chilli’s Wings and Rings location and spoke to workers. They believe the Kettering location could open in just three months.
Kettering’s Economic Development Director told News Center 7 the building was sold in January and the city approved a zone change for the site.
The empty Burger King location in Kettering has been called an eyesore by the people who live nearby.
Megan Steiner lives in Kettering and said a new restaurant moving in is better than letting the Burger King continue to sit vacant.
“For my family, we love to eat out and try different things. So, it’ll be something fun for us to try,” Steiner said.
