Frisch’s new owner sells restaurant’s real estate for $47M

The new owner of Frisch’s Restaurants Inc. wasted no time in shaking things up at the nearly 70-year-old company.

NRD Capital Partners sold the real estate for 19 Greater Cincinnati Frisch’s Big Boy restaurants to National Retail Properties Inc., a real estate investment trust that owns a portfolio of freestanding retail stores, for nearly $47 million. The company entered into long-term lease deals with National Retail Properties and will continue to operate the restaurants as usual.
