Take out versions of popular restaurants like Outback Steakhouse and Hooters have become especially popular since the pandemic. It' a smart move for P.F. Chang's as real estate in St. Pete right now is at a premium. Although the restaurant will be smaller, P.F. Chang's says the full menu will be offered at the St. Pete location when it opens next year.
The Tampa Bay Business Journal reports the location will be at 1550 66th Street North in St. Petersburg. They plan to open in the late summer of 2023. The take out stores are smaller, but will offer online and mobile ordering and delivery. Right now in Florida, the to go version of P.F. Chang's are only in Jacksonville, Orlando, Lake Mary, and in the Miami area. [Source: TBBJ]
