The hospitality group is headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and the company is also the franchisee for over 300 Wendy’s located in numerous states, as well as the Michigan-based eateries Stan’s Tacos and the brunch concept Morning Belle.

Per information in the previous Dayton Daily News article, the franchise group has removed all the identifying signage at the Kettering restaurant and a printed note taped to the restaurant’s entrance states that the location is “closed for rebranding.” What Now Columbus reached out to a representative with Meritage Hospitality Group to learn about the new concept and the projected timeline for reopening, but the hospitality group didn’t immediately return a request for comment.
