Growing Tampa-based chain Ford’s Garage will soon be building up its sixth metro Orlando location in Sanford, according to a recent Orlando Business Journal report. The restaurant, run by Steve Shlemon, will be found at 1415 Rinehart Road.
“Central Florida is one of the world’s top tourist destinations. Millions of visitors each year have the opportunity to experience our brand first-hand, which gives us an advantage as we expand our footprint beyond Florida and into other parts of the country,” Shlemon said.
Readers unfamiliar with the brand should note that Ford’s Garage features licensed Ford Motor Co. branding in order to create a 1920s-era garage atmosphere.
With an extensive menu of signature burgers such as The Model A, The Jiffy Burger, and The High Octane Burger, as well as comfort food favorites like Mama Ford’s Homemade Meatloaf, Beer Battered Fish N’ Chips, and Buffalo Blackened Chicken Mac N’ Cheese, Ford’s Garage bills itself as “your neighborhood burger and beer joint,” with each location evoking a “1920s service station/prohibition bar with its old-style brick, dark colors, rich wood, and hand-hammered copper bar top.”
No opening date has yet been announced.
