Two restaurant brands are planned for the former restaurant site at Florida Avenue South and Imperial Avenue.
A concept plan now under review shows Cava and Wild Fork restaurants coming to 3437 Florida Avenue South, at the corner of Florida Avenue South and Imperial Avenue. The site is currently vacant after a previous restaurant use.
The application is moving through the city's review process. No opening date or other details are yet public.
