The burger joint was located at 1200 Brown St. Suite 190 near Don Juan Mexican Grill & Cantina.

The Mexican restaurant opened in July in the former space of El Rancho Grande.

This news comes after Prime BBQ Smokehouse opened in the former space of The Wizard of Za in July and Wat Da Pho announced plans to open in the former space of Pita Pit. Wat Da Pho hopes to open in early 2026.

Submarine House, located at 1137 Brown St., is temporarily closed for renovations as the owners prepare to reopen as the brand’s sports bar concept in spring 2026.

A warehouse building at 1141 Brown St., located between Five Guys and Submarine House, was torn down last year with plans for a new Dutch Bros Coffee shop to open at the site.

Smashburger has two other locations in the Dayton region: 2315 Miamisburg Centerville Road in Miami Twp. and 6731 Miller Lane in Butler Twp.
