Default Red Lobster building

driving by the old red lobster restaurant today saw some activity going on and the FMK trailer parked in the lot. Anyone care to speculate what restaurant is going in there?

Ya, an old NYC style Deli. Like The Carnegie Deli was.

Think if it’s a FMK truck, the restaurant will have a menu with a familiar offering that we have all had before.

That location would be a change for the FMK business model of locations either at town squares or Championship Golf Courses. It would be nice if they were planning something the Villages is desperately short of, a good quality restaurant with consistent food and service, that isn’t at a high end price point.

Just a guess that FMK might be purchasing some equipment?

I'm hoping Portillo's will move in there instead of their current decision to build on 441.

They must be connected with the Morse family. They are taking over all the restaurants.

Oh yeah, I haven't had that since I left Dallas.

How about a Donatos pizza, yum.
