The OinkADoodleMoo Barbecue restaurant at 4622 Brandt Pike in the Cloud Park Plaza in Dayton near the border with Huber Heights closed permanently effective today, according to the locally based chain’s chief operating officer, Steve Meyer.

“This was a franchise location that had been open for about a year, and it just didn’t work,” Meyer said. Sales did not reach projections, he said.

The other four OinkADoodleMoo locations — in the Randolph Plaza in Clayton, on Far hills Avenue in Kettering, in the KeyBank Tower in downtown Dayton, and in Richmond, Ind. — are company-owned and will not be affected by the closing of the Huber Heights restaurant, Meyer said.

In fact, the downtown Dayton location is planning to expand its hours in the coming weeks, Meyer said. The restaurant closes at 2:30 p.m. now, but will stay open until 7 p.m. on weekdays starting on May 1.

The Kettering restaurant at 3910 Far Hills Ave. is scheduled to close in August when its lease expires, but Meyer said he is looking for a new location for the store.

OinkADoodleMoo was founded in 2009 with the opening of an Englewood restaurant that relocated to Clayton last year.
