Kettering Burger King closes
The Burger King at 4125 Wilmington Pike — just south of the Meijer store in Kettering — has closed.
A sign on the door directs customers to a nearby Burger King at 1431 E. Dorothy Lane.
Burger King spokeswoman Denise Wilson confirmed the closing this afternoon, Jan. 7, and said, “In the course of normal business, we continuously review our worldwide restaurant portfolio and make strategic decisions based on many factors including development opportunities, market conditions, restaurant profitability, lease length and overall brand presence.”
Although she did not say how many employees were affected by the closing, Wilson said employees who wanted to be relocated were transferred to other Burger King restaurants in the area.

5 guys is terrible, if you wanted a dry, squished burger just go for McDonalds dollar menu and save a few bucks.

Good! I hope the whole chain folds, since they started charging extra for the onions that should be standard on ALL burgers! (If you want to leave them off, OK, but to “nickel and dime” 15-cents extra on a $1 double cheeseburger is ridiculous). I’ll never eat there again!

For a real burger just head up to Fairfield to Five Guys. Worth the drive!

I am sure Burger King has it all under control, folks. Billy seems to think the “king” is “gross”, but millions of Americans seem to disagree. I live a nice greasy burger,loaded with great toppings! Its good for ya! lol! Enjoy the remaining BK’s nearby!

If you still need a fix of the “King” just drive on down Wilmington to the one below I675. It sits behind Frisch’s and in front of Cub Foods.

That’s too bad. I used to stop in there for dinner on the way home from work when I used to work at Delphi Chassis in Kettering. Of course Delphi is closed and I’m out of work now. The economy claims some more victims as it snowballs down the hill.

It’s been closed for almost a week. I was going to stop there last weekend for lunch, but they were closed and clearing things out. too bad - they usually stayed moderately busy.
