Ford’s Garage Planning 3 New Tampa Bay Area Sites: Reports

TAMPA BAY, FL — Tampa Bay area residents tired of driving to Brandon to sink their teeth into Ford’s Garage burgers may soon find more locations in the region to serve them.

The Florida-based burger chain that got its start in the southern part of the state has plans to add a few more Tampa Bay locations in the near future. The 1920s garage themed-eatery specializes in burgers, craft beers and comfort foods, such as “Mama Ford’s Homemade Meatloaf.”

New Ford’s Garage locations in the Tampa Bay area are scheduled to open in early 2017, according to the Tampa Bay Business Journal. Those locations will be in Lutz, near the Tampa Premium Outlets; Countryside, in the old Cody’s Original Roadhouse location; and Westchase on an outparcel near the new Costco that’s under construction.

Ford’s Garage’s first Tampa Bay location opened in Brandon about a year ago. The 11105 Causeway Blvd. establishment has enjoyed brisk business ever since. The eatery’s other locations are in Fort Myers, Estero and Cape Coral.

A request for comment from Ford’s Garage by Patch was not immediately answered.
