Naked Farmer will grow from two locations in Tampa-St. Pete to 20 across Florida over the next four years.
Naked Farmer, the all-natural, all-local, chef-driven restaurant operation has signed leases for locations in Coral Gables, Miami and Water Street in Tampa. Over the next three years, the brand plans to add between 15 and 20 more locations throughout the state.
The brand’s philosophy is to sell healthy, seasonal and locally grown foods in its restaurants. Naked Farmer partners with local farmers, and all ingredients in dishes including a Chicken Kale Caesar and the iconic Local Farmer, which is a dish consisting of charred chicken and broccoli with sweet potato and garlic aioli, are locally sourced and reasonably priced.
“This is a Florida story as we work with farmers all over the state,” said Naked Farmer Founder Jordan Johnson. “We’re investing in our state’s economy by buying from local growers and as we grow, that purchase power grows, and more of every dollar spent in our restaurant stays local.”
The brand has secured funding and has enlisted the help of JLL to help find its expansion locations throughout Florida.
