CINCINNATI — Dozens of people in Cleves waited outside the new Roy Rogers location early Monday morning for the grand opening.
Only the first 50 people in line were lucky enough to win free food for a year.
This isn't the Western-themed fast-food chain's first time in Cleves.
"Remember those days when you walked into Roy Rogers and the aroma of fresh burgers and fries filled the air? That's what we're bringing back to Cleves, Ohio with our delicious menu of signature burgers, roast beef, and crispy chicken," the chain wrote on Facebook.
The fast-food chain first opened in Virginia in 1968. The restaurant's namesake, Roy Rogers, was born in Cincinnati in 1911.
The Cleves restaurant is one of multiple new locations brought by Roy Rogers and One Holland Restaurant Group in Hamilton, Butler and Clermont counties. The two companies also have plans for locations in Northern Kentucky's Boone, Kenton and Campbell counties, as well as Indiana's Dearborn County.
"We're thrilled to be a part of the community and can't wait to welcome you to our restaurant soon!" the chain wrote.
