2 new, competing restaurants coming to Troy
Two new restaurants are coming to Troy — and they’ll compete head-to-head for the burrito market.
Hot Head Burritos will open a restaurant on South Dorset Road just north of Ohio 55 and east of I-75, according to Hot Head co-owner Ray Wiley. Located in a strip shopping center that includes a Subway and a Boston Stoker, the new Hot Head will be the eighth for the small Dayton-based chain that Wiley co-founded.
“We’re shooting for Dec. 15” to open, Wiley said. Customer requests from Troy-area residents who inquired online and at the Huber Heights Hot Head restaurant prompted Wiley to look into a Troy location, he said. The restaurant will open with about 15 employees, Wiley said.
Another burrito specialist, Chipotle, is preparing to open a restaurant on West Main Street west of I-75, in a small strip shopping center in front of the Meijer store that also houses a Panera Bread restaurant.
The 2,400-square-feet restaurant is projected to open in early 2010, said Chipotle spokeswoman Jenna Simenic. It will seat 48 people. Most new Chipotle restaurants open with about 30 employees, Simenic said.
The Denver-based chain operates 900 restaurants nationwide.
Troy Development Director Jim Dando said the two new restaurants will add to an already robust restaurant scene offering south-of-the-border cuisine, including El Sombrero, La Fiesta, El Rancho Grande and Taco Bell.
