Red Robin to hire 100 for new restaurant

Red Robin Gourmet Burgers will build its second Dayton-area restaurant later this year at 6404 Miller Lane in Vandalia.

The 4,534-square-foot restaurant will seat 155 and will hire about 100 people, a Red Robin spokesman said. It is scheduled to open this fall, the spokesman said. Red Robin operates a restaurant at 2671 Fairfield Commons Blvd. in Beavercreek.

The new restaurant will be a prototype for what Red Robin officials call its “brand transformation initiative.” It will be constructed adjacent to a LongHorn Steakhouse that opened last year.

Greg Shackelford, Vandalia’s assistant city manager, said city officials are “very excited to see development continue along the Vandalia portion of Miller Lane. We see that area as a prime retail location, and this project continues the momentum created by Longhorn and Ruby Tuesday.”

Building plans have been approved, and a construction permit has been issued, a Vandalia spokesman said.

Greenwood Village, Colorado-based Red Robin Gourmet Burgers was founded in 1969 and operates more than 500 restaurants across the U.S. and Canada. It serves more than two dozen varieties of burgers as well as salads, soups, appetizers, desserts and beverages, including craft beers and cocktails. The chain operates three locations in the northern Cincinnati area.
