Roy Rogers Restaurants will open in its latest store in Florence, Kentucky. It's the second of a 10-unit deal after the brand opened last February in Cleves, Ohio, according to a press release.

The Florence unit is expected to open this December. It will be Kentucky's first Roy Rogers and is one of two expected for Northern Kentucky. The brand had a restaurant in front of the Florence Mall in 1985.

"We want to bring Roys back to Northern Kentucky, and Florence is the home of our long-time, very popular Skyline restaurant," Gary Holland, One Holland Corp. restaurant group CEO and founder, said in the press release. "We scouted this corner several months ago, it's well positioned, convenient to the retail hub and area businesses. Soon the community will be enjoying Roy's famous burgers, roast beef and fried chicken, and of course, the Fixins Bar."

"We are excited to announce the second location while still celebrating the ongoing success of the Cleves opening just a few months ago," Jim Plamondon, co-president of Roy Rogers Franchise Company, said in the press release. "The One Holland team have been fantastic partners as we expand this iconic brand in the Cincinnati Tri-State area. We look forward to welcoming the Florence community into our Roy Rogers family later this year."

Roy Rogers plans to bring the additional locations over the next six years to Hamilton, Butler and Clermont counties in Southwest Ohio; Boone, Kenton and Campbell counties in Northern Kentucky; and Dearborn County in Southeast Indiana.

Roy Rogers operates 24 company-owned restaurants and 17 franchise restaurants in six states.
