Ford’s Garage Grand Opening Scheduled Monday In Sarasota

SARASOTA, FL — Ford’s Garage celebrates the grand opening of its new Sarasota location Monday at 6 p.m.

The chain will open its fourteenth Florida location at 295 N Cattlemen Road in the University Town Center area. Its Sarasota restaurant will be located across from Dick’s Sporting Goods and close to the site for the Mote Marine Laboratory’s new aquarium.

The restaurant was slated to open in early May, but the opening date was pushed back due to construction delays, the restaurant shared on its Facebook page.

“We are so excited to meet all of our Sarasota neighbors,” the restaurant posted on Facebook about its upcoming grand opening.
