Beavercreek BBQ restaurant shuts down

The Woody’s Bar-B-Q restaurant at 3321 Dayton-Xenia Road in Beavercreek announced on its Facebook page this morning that is has shut down permanently.

Michael York, the manager and franchise owner of the barbecue restaurant, confirmed the news in a brief phone interview.

“We lost our lease,” York said. “I just can’t afford what they want us to pay.”

The closing will affect 18 to 20 employees, York said.

York said he wouldn’t rule out the possibility of relocating, but indicated it was unlikely. “I’ll be 68 this year,” he said. “That will make it difficult. But you can never predict.”

Woody’s opened in February 2010.
