The Florida-based Ford’s Garage restaurant chain has announced that they are moving into the Northern Virginia market.
The company has signed a new local franchisee for a three store deal – meaning the intention is to open at least that many locations, perhaps more.
The announcement says the current areas they are focusing on include Alexandria, Fairfax and Woodbridge, although other communities could be in play as well. No official sites have been announced yet.
If you’re not familiar, Ford’s Garage got its start in 2012 in Fort Myers, Florida — where Henry Ford had a winter residence. Today, there are 30 locations across eight states, according to the company.
There is one location here in Virginia, in the Richmond area.
Ford’s aims to transport diners to a 1920’s garage and “blends an expansive menu of American comfort food and vintage automotive nostalgia,” the announcement reads.
“With a menu that features their famous burgers, wings and a tower of onion rings, comfort foods, and irresistible desserts, there is truly an option to fit everyone’s preferences,” it continues. “As the only restaurant brand with an official Ford licensing agreement, Ford’s Garage stands out in its design, with cars hanging from the ceiling and vintage-style décor, paying homage to classic car culture while still delivering a family-friendly dining experience.”
