FORT MYERS, Fla., Dec. 9, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Fuddruckers, a
Texas-based heritage brand, has
plans to more than double its presence in Florida with regional franchisee Urdaneta,
Reyes & Videla. The duo is anticipating a December 14 debut of a new 6,300-square-foot fast
casual restaurant at Market Square in Fort Myers. This is the
third opening as a result of the partnership, which is developing
an additional seven restaurants in and around Tampa and Orlando. Fuddruckers currently
has two sites in Orlando and five
in South Florida, spanning
Fort Lauderdale to Miami.
The Fort Myers location at 5050
Daniels Parkway, just off S. Tamiami Trail, will accommodate 182
diners and also offer a patio with seating for more than 40
guests. An engaging design scheme, which references
Fuddruckers' classic, Americana origins, will set an inviting
backdrop for a family gathering, work lunch or date night.
According to Peter Tropoli, Chief
Operating Officer of Luby's, Inc., "We have a large and loyal fan
base in Florida, and we are
thrilled to be growing our presence in the state with franchisee
Urdaneta, Reyes & Videla, making it easier than ever for
Floridians to get a taste of the World's Greatest Hamburgers.
Since 1980, Fuddruckers has been obsessed with making the world
happier, one great hamburger at a time. Grilled-to-order
burgers feature always fresh and never frozen, 100% USDA
premium-cut beef with no fillers or additives. Delicious,
sesame-topped buns are baked from scratch on-site throughout the
day to achieve the perfect combination of crisp crust and
melt-in-your-mouth texture.
And while burgers are the signature, the engaging Fort Meyers
menu will offer variety for many tastes with specialty soup and
fish options, hand-breaded rings and tenders, plus an array of
sandwiches, platters and salads. No matter what they choose,
customers can customize their meal with a trip to the legendary
Build Your Own produce bar, which will feature fantastic fixings
like sun-ripened tomatoes, lettuce, sliced onions, dill pickles,
pico de gallo and classic cheese sauce.
