Orlando residents will be the first Floridians to try Fresh To Order when it makes its Orlando debut this week in Waterford Lakes Town Center at 851 North Alafaya Trail in East Orlando, according to a company press release.
"We've had our eyes on a Florida location for a while because of its sustained growth and an excellent business environment," said Pierre Panos, Fresh To Order Founder and CEO. "We know our menu is just what Florida and visitor families, students, and Millennials are looking for when they dine out, and Orlando is the perfect city for us to start our Florida development in."
Fresh To Order is experiencing growth as it continues expansion across the Southeast. Most recently Fresh To Order opened its first Nashville location and has other restaurants in development, including Charlotte, N.C.; Greenville, S.C.; Knoxville, Tenn., and additional Nashville and Atlanta-area locations where the restaurant concept is dually headquartered.
The Orlando location is owned and operated by longtime restaurateur Giriam Patel, a former Golden Corral franchise owner who has signed to open eight Fresh To Order restaurants in Orlando.
