Chuy’s Tex-Mex restaurants will open its second Dayton-area location in mid-November at the Mall at Fairfield Commons, officials with the Austin, Texas-based chain announced this afternoon.

Chuy’s will occupy a 6,500-square-foot free-standing building with patio space southeast of the Mall at Fairfield Commons’ new main entrance, mall officials have said.

The chain’s first Dayton-area location opened last spring at the Austin Landing development in Miami Twp. It also operates a restaurant in Madeira near Cincinnati and is looking to expand into other regions in Ohio beyond Dayton and Cincinnati, a company spokeswoman has said.

“We are looking forward to sharing the Chuy’s experience with Beavercreek, and I’m positive this community will appreciate our passion for fresh, homemade Tex-Mex,” local owner/operator Chad Pinkstaff said in a release.

The new restaurant will employ 175, a Chuy’s spokeswoman said this afternoon.

Chuy's will hold their signature "doggie photo shoot" from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. this Saturday, Sept. 12, at PetSmart at 2500 N. Fairfield Road to raise money for Luv4K9s pet rescue. For a $5 donation, dog owners can get a framed photo of their pup hung in the La Chihuahua Bar, inside the new Beavercreek Chuy's location, along with a free appetizer card.
