Jafrejo Holdings, and its subsidiary, the Florida Restaurant Franchise Group, are bringing the Twin Peaks casual sports bar concept to South Florida. Holding the rights to develop the concept in South Florida, the franchisee is currently under construction on its first location, an 11,000 square foot restaurant in the Tower Shoppes at University Dr. and I-595 in Davie in Broward County. The unit is expected to open in early May and four more locations are scheduled to open throughout the area over the next twelve months. “We are coming into South Florida in a big way and will be opening restaurants in West Palm Beach, Fort Myers, Pembroke Pines and Fort Lauderdale over the next 12 months”, said Joe Sloboda, Vice President, Operations for Jafrejo Holdings. Twin Peaks is mountain-lodge themed sports bar, known for its rugged feel and man cave setting, with 29 degree beer and made-from-scratch food served by beautiful Twin Peaks Girls. The Davie location will have 32 beers on tap and more than 70 large screen hi-def televisions. The Dallas, Texas based franchise currently has 65 locations across the United States, including units in Orlando and Pensacola, and is expected to have more than 100 units opened by the end of the year.
