Frisch's

Frisch's Big Boy is a regional Big Boy restaurant chain with headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia, with offices in Cincinnati, Ohio. For many years a Big Boy franchisee, in 2001, Frisch's became the exclusive owner of the Big Boy trademark in Indiana, Kentucky, and most of Ohio and Tennessee, and unaffiliated with Big Boy Restaurant Group. As of March 2025, the company claims to operate 31 locations in Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio. This includes or included multiple Big Boy stores in and around Cincinnati OH, Dayton OH, Columbus OH, Toledo OH, Lexington KY, and Louisville KY. The corporate entities that currently own Frisch's are FBB IP LLC, FRM Management LLC, FRM Operations LLC, and FRM Holding Company LLC, all were formerly known as Frisch’s Restaurants Inc.

Frisch's is the oldest, longest surviving, and smallest (formerly largest prior to evictions) regional Big Boy operator, excluding Bob's Big Boy in California, which was the original Big Boy restaurant and franchiser. The last new Frisch's opened in the Northern Kentucky International Airport in 2023. In 2015, Frisch's entered a sale and leaseback agreement of company owned locations. When Frisch's was unable to make full lease payments in 2024, the company was evicted from most stores. Leadership of Frisch's passed from founder David Frisch to his son-in-law and finally his grandson, until 2015, when the company was sold to Atlanta-based NRD Capital, an equity fund which focuses on restaurant development. Frisch's also previously owned numerous Golden Corral restaurants in Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia but after closing six under-performing stores in 2011, Frisch's sold the remainder in March 2012. In November 2024, after a series of evictions that led to closures of dozens of locations, a group of senior managers purchased all non-franchised remaining locations and company branding rights.
