About our Location
Florida Restaurant Franchise Group will be developing from 20 to 24 stores in the
largest economic centers of Florida, with locations in areas such as Miami, Broward and
Palm Beach counties.
Florida is known for its strong tourism and trade industries, Florida attractions such as
Disney World, Universal Studios, South Beach, West Palm Beach and Miami, are
among the most sought-after locations for both international and domestic travelers.
Florida is the 4th most populous of the 50 states in the United States of America.
Florida is the 4th largest economy in the United States, with a GDP of 748 billion in
2010, and as of 2010, Florida became the 4th largest exporter of trade goods.
Aside from its great weather and extensive coastline, the State of Florida attracts
wealthy individuals as it is one of the seven states that do not impose state taxes. The
state capital is Tallahassee, its largest city is Jacksonville, and the Miami metropolitan
area is the largest metropolitan area in the southeastern United States.
About our Location
VooDoo BBQ & Grill will be developing restaurant locations in the four major metropolitan areas of
Florida - Miami/Ft. Lauderdale, Orlando, Tampa & Jacksonville. Due to its tremendous
tourism, many people from Europe and South America come to Florida simply to shop for several
days and then go back to their native country. Obviously eating goes hand in hand with such
shopping excursions. Also young adults favor attending one of the many reputable colleges and
universities in the state and most of them are located in the major metro areas, increasing our
potential to attract young crowds.
Within the last decade, there has been tremendous growth and building of new and attractive retail
centers. Due to the general economic hard times, VooDoo BBQ & Grill was able to secure
tremendous A+ locations and enter into long term leases, not feasible a few years ago.

Florida is known for its strong tourism and trade industries, Florida attractions such as Disney World, Universal Studios, South Beach, West Palm Beach and Miami, are among the most sought-after locations for both international and domestic travelers. Florida is the 4th most populous of the 50 states in the United States of America. Florida is the 4th largest economy in the United States, with a GDP of 748 billion in 2010, and as of 2010, Florida became the 4th largest exporter of trade goods. Aside from its great weather and extensive coastline, the State of Florida attracts wealthy individuals as it is one of the seven states that do not impose state taxes. The state capital is Tallahassee, its largest city is Jacksonville, and the Miami metropolitan area is the largest metropolitan area in the southeastern United States.
  • 31. About our Location VooDoo BBQ & Grill will be developing restaurant locations in the four major metropolitan areas of Florida - Miami/Ft. Lauderdale, Orlando, Tampa & Jacksonville. Due to its tremendous tourism, many people from Europe and South America come to Florida simply to shop for several days and then go back to their native country. Obviously eating goes hand in hand with such shopping excursions. Also young adults favor attending one of the many reputable colleges and universities in the state and most of them are located in the major metro areas, increasing our potential to attract young crowds. Within the last decade, there has been tremendous growth and building of new and attractive retail centers. Due to the general economic hard times, VooDoo BBQ & Grill was able to secure tremendous A+ locations and enter into long term leases, not feasible a few years ago.
