Skyline Chili Moves: New 50s-Themed Spot Opens

A new Skyline Chili restaurant opened its doors on June 29 in Covington, Kentucky, situated at 520 W. Fifth St. This opening follows the closure of its previous Third Street location on June 27, which had served the community for 55 years. The new site, formerly a Frisch's Big Boy, is located just two blocks from the old spot.

The relocated establishment aims to better meet modern needs, featuring a full menu available via drive-thru and increased parking. Its interior design pays homage to the chain's 1950s origins, characterized by black and white checkered floors and distinctive turquoise seating. All employees from the Third Street restaurant have been transferred to the new location.

This move was necessitated by the limitations of the previous site, which lacked space for essential features like a drive-thru window. The acquisition and relocation were facilitated by One Holland Restaurant Group, a franchise partner that also owns numerous other Skyline locations and other restaurant brands. This transition ensures continued service for Covington patrons in a more contemporary setting.
