More chain restaurant options are coming to Wesley Chapel, not far from a new Walmart, where Chili’s Grill & Bar is expected to build a 6,090-square-foot location.
Brinker Florida Inc. is looking to build the new Chili’s at 28444 State Road 54 in Wesley Chapel, where the Johnny Carino’s restaurant was once located. Brinker is set to have its small commercial development plan approved by the Pasco County Development Review Committee on Sept. 11.
The 1.7 acres of land has been owned by CRC 204 LLC since 2007, a company connected to local Applebee’s franchise owner Franklin Carson of Tampa.
Once completed, this would become the fourth Chili’s location in the area. It would join restaurants at 22629 State Road 54 in Land O’ Lakes, 16420 State Road 54 in Odessa, and 17643 Bruce B. Downs Blvd., in New Tampa.
Brinker International has been the owner of the Chili’s chain since 1983, and has more than 1,500 locations worldwide.
Also up for review by the Development Review Committee is a proposed Sherwin-Williams building materials store on the corner of Wesley Chapel Boulevard and Old Pasco Road. Plans there are for a 4,550-square-foot paint store on 5.6 acres of land.
That land is currently owned by OP 54 LLC of Tampa, a company connected with Mitchell Rice, the chief executive of RMC Real Estate Services in Tampa.
This would be the third Sherwin-Williams location in the area, joining the store at 17331 Dona Michelle Drive in New Tampa, and 37136 Eiland Blvd., in Zephyrhills. The chain, known for its paint, has more than 4,300 locations worldwide.
The county’s Development Review Committee is set to meet at the Historic Pasco County Courthouse on Sept. 11 at 1:30 p.m. The committee is led by Pasco County administrator Michele Baker.
