According to recent reporting, Bibibop Asian Grill will soon open a new location in Dayton, in the Huber Heights Commons retail and residential development project located at 7606 Old Troy Pike.
Bibibop Asian Grill is owned by Columbus based GOSH Enterprises, Inc., a privately-held multi-brand restaurant company started by Charley Shin, founder of Charley’s Philly Steaks. In addition to Bibibop Asian Grill and Charley’s Philly Steaks, the organization’s portfolio also includes Lenny’s Grill and Subs.
Bibibop Asian Grill serves customizable, healthy bowls on a build your own model that includes the eatery’s infamous purple rice, a nutrient-dense rice blend of black and white rice, as well as a variety of vegetables, fruits, beans, sauces and protein options like chicken, steak and tofu.
Ryan Sanecki, Senior Digital Marketing Manager with Bibibop Asian Grill tells What Now Columbus that the goal is to open their Huber Heights location in late fall. Huber Heights Commons was developed by Broad Reach Retail Partners and in addition to Bibibop, several national chain restaurants are set to open in the Commons, as well as retail tenants, and the space includes a residential component in the form of a 192 unit apartment complex.
What Now Columbus spoke with Eric Penney, Director of Development and Redevelopment with Broad Reach Retail Partners about the impacts of this new project in the Dayton community.
“The Huber Heights Commons project is great example of public-private sector collaboration through unprecedented and challenging times. We’re proud to bring a market relevant set of retailers and service providers to the Huber Heights community through this process.”
To help ease congestion, the development company added a new traffic light and expanded both Taylorsville Road and Old Troy Pike. “The city has helped identify existing challenges to traffic in this corridor and Broad Reach had a chance to become an active investor in the necessary traffic solutions,” Penney said.
