Restaurant to reopen after nearly a year
MORAINE — The 4200 Place restaurant, 4200 Kettering Blvd., will reopen in a few weeks under the same name but under new ownership, after being closed for about a year.
Rob Harville, the 4200 Place’s new co-owner, said the restaurant has rehired some of its former cooks and other employees and will serve a menu focusing on country cooking similar to what the restaurant served before it closed. The restaurant will reopen “around the first of the year,” Harville said, and will serve breakfast, lunch and dinner six days a week, and breakfast and lunch on Sunday.
The 4200 Family Style Restaurant closed shortly after its operator, Joseph B. Kelley II, passed away unexpectedly on Jan. 11, 2008. Kelley’s father decided to close the restaurant that his son had operated and put it up for sale.
Harville said he and co-owner Anthony Denney knew Kelley and the restaurant and are glad to bring it back.
“I feel like we bought an established business that had a lot of loyal customers in Moraine, Kettering and West Carrollton,” Harville said.
The new owners are putting together plans for a grand opening, Harville said.
The restaurant, which seats about 70, is located across from the General Motors plant in Moraine. The phone number will be (937) 293-4200.

Awesome!! Glad to hear of the re-opening. I was a fairly regular customer(once or twice a week) before it closed. Loved the simple, but good, home cooked style. Please bring back the cabbage rolls also!!By KNCJR
