The Dayton-based restaurant chain announced Thursday that it had closed its location at at 7701 Voice of America Park Drive “effective immediately.”
“It is with heavy hearts that we share this news and we so appreciate the West Chester community for all of the support they’ve shown us,” Milano’s Pizza, Subs & Taps wrote via social media. “We are making every effort to relocate our current employees to other Milano’s locations.”
Milano’s opened its West Chester Twp. location in January 2014, replacing Marlin & Ray’s.
Marlin & Ray's, a steak and seafood restaurant, served its last meal in January 2013 at the location, just one month shy of its one-year anniversary.
The restaurant was one of 13 locations closed by its owner, Ruby Tuesday Inc.
Prior to Marlin & Ray’s, the building housed a Ruby Tuesday restaurant.

“The opportunity arose to sell this property which includes both the building and the land,” Milano’s said in a statement. “We made this decision carefully and determined that the sale fit our future plan and the new owner would be a great addition to the area.”
Milano’s said the future restaurant tenant would be disclosed at a later date.
There’s no record yet of a recent sale. The property was last purchased in 2013 for $1.5 million, according to the Butler County Auditor’s Office.
