Texas Roadhouse will relocate its 25th Street location near FairOaks Mall to the west side of Columbus next year just east of Interstate 65.
The steakhouse chain is planning to build an 8,000-square-foot restaurant on 3.57 acres on the north side of Merchant’s Mile. The new location is in the vicinity of Chevrolet of Columbus and adjacent to Fairfield Inn & Suites, north of Sam’s Club.
The existing restaurant at 2508 25th St., built in 1997, is being relocated to the west side in part because of the high visibility and traffic from I-65, said Travis Doster, spokesman for Texas Roadhouse.
Plans by Columbus Regional Health to build healthcare facilities on the west side of Columbus also factored into the company’s decision, he said.
