Milano's Atlantic City Submarines has reached a preliminary agreement with Oberer Companies to build a restaurant at the Cornerstone of Centerville development, according to Milano's owner John Slaughenhaupt.

If a final deal is reached, Milano’s would open its fifth southwest Ohio location, an 8,000-square-foot restaurant that would seat 300, including about 100 in the indoor-outdoor patio, Slaughenhaupt said. The restaurant would employ as many as 100, and is projected to open in late summer of 2015, he said.

The Milano’s would have two full bars and would offer 30 beer taps, including 22 devoted to a rotating selection of craft beers, Slaughenhaupt said. It would have “a bit more of a casual sports bar feel,” he said.

“The Dayton area has been very good to us, and that is what enables us to open new locations,” Slaughenhaupt said. “We feel good about what the Cornerstone project will bring to the Dayton area and are happy to be a part of that growth.”

The new restaurant would be on Feedwire Road directly in front of the Costco Wholesale store that is already under construction at the 156-acre Cornerstone development at Wilmington Pike and Feedwire Road, just off I-675. The specialty grocer Fresh Thyme also has confirmed plans to open a store in the multi-use project, and Kroger officials have said they are considering putting a new store there. A spokeswoman for Kroger said this morning no decision has been made.

Milano's operates restaurants in Dayton near the University of Dayton, Beavercreek, Miami Twp., and West Chester. For more information, check out the Milano's Atlantic City Submarines Facebook page.
