The award winning Burger 21, a Tampa-based fast casual franchise, opened its newest and most anticipated location yet in Ocala, and will be featuring specialty cocktails and Shaketales, as well as many other desirable new and improved features. It is the first freestanding restaurant with a full service bar and outdoor patio for the company.
So far, Burger 21 has 22 locations open in Florida, Georgia, Illinois, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Texas in Virginia, and more than 20 more are in the works in six other states.
The company's founder and president is excited to unveil the long-awaited first Burger 21 location with a full-service bar in Ocala, certain that it is a fantastic market to launch the brand's specialty cocktails and Shaketales.
The Ocala location has already exceeded expectations by breaking all previous grand opening day records with more than $15,000 in sales. The 4,300 square-foot restaurant features Burger 21's classic and contemporary design, as well as many new upgrades, which include a full-service bar with specially brewed Destination Orange craft beer on tap, which is available exclusively at Burger 21's Ocala restaurant. The location also offers a diverse menu of chef-inspired Shaketails and Twisted Spirits. Furthermore, the Ocala Burger 21 is almost double the size of the company's standard restaurant, and it offers seating for 160 customers with 90 employees on staff. The restaurant also features high definition flatscreen TVs throughout the entire space and the bar area, in addition to the brand's first to-go entrance for pick-up orders.
This is a great addition to the Ocala dining and drinking scene, and the opening has also provided a great opportunity for job growth in the community.
