Jeff’s Bagel Run is pushing hard on it's expansion plans with four new locations currently under development, and more on the way! Fast expanding local bagel chain, Jeff’s Bagel Run which currently has two locations, Ocoee, and Winter Park, is working on impressive expansion plans that will see that number increase to eight! Currently the chain is working hard on four new stores which are all due to open in February/March. The locations are Orange Avenue in Winter Park, Alafaya Trail in Oviedo, Daryl Carter Parkway in O'Town West, and Future Way in Celebration. And if that's not enough, another two stores will open in early summer in Clermont, and Conroy/Kirkman. The new locations will feature an open kitchen concept with bar seating so guests can watch the bagel making magic. The first new store to open will be the Oviedo location at 1351 Alafaya Trail, Suite 1013, which is scheduled to open on February 15, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 11:30 am. The bagel shops which are run by Jeff and Danielle Perera, are expanding thanks to a strategic partnership with Justin Wetherill, founder of 1337 Capital, and the co-founder of the uBreakiFix chain. After moving to Central Florida in 2016, Jeff and Danielle Perera found themselves in search of a great bagel. However, they were unable to find New York-style bagels that Danielle grew up enjoying. After Jeff's layoff in 2019, Danielle leaned into their shared love of bagels and asked Jeff to make her a bagel. With Danielle as the taste tester, Jeff dedicated himself to perfecting his bagel recipes and techniques. Amidst the pandemic, Jeff started a "bagel run," personally delivering freshly baked bagels door-to-door. Word spread and demand soared for Jeff's Bagel Run. The success of the "bagel run" led to selling bagels at local markets, and finally the opening of the first Jeff's Bagel Run brick and mortar location in Ocoee, Florida. In June 2021, Danielle left her full-time corporate job to go "full bagel" at Jeff's Bagel Run.

It’s been a long time coming but Birria1983 is now open in Downtown Orlando. As we first reported last August, the mixed-use downtown Orlando retail building Church Street Market, located at 54 and 55 W. Church St is welcoming several new tenants this year including LA-style Mexican food company Birria1983. Birria1983 has been operating as a popular Orlando area food truck for the past four years, and now the couple behind the food truck, Liz and Maureen Huert have opened its first bricks and mortar bar and grill in the space that was once home to Graffiti Junktion Maureen and Liz, the dynamic duo behind this culinary adventure, found themselves at a crossroads when they lost their jobs due to the global shutdown in 2020. Faced with uncertainty, they harnessed their entrepreneurial spirit and ventured into the world of cloud kitchens. Together, they embarked on a journey of culinary exploration, crafting homemade Chilean delights and sharing them with the world online. Despite their delicious dishes, orders were too few to keep their dream alive. Undeterred, Maureen and Liz decided to create their own rendition of birria. To their astonishment, their birria quickly became a sensation, and orders surged beyond expectations. Capitalizing on this newfound success, Liz and Maureen took their dream to the streets. They purchased a food truck, fixed it up, and continued to serve their now-famous birria. Their dedication and culinary prowess did not go unnoticed, as Birria1983 quickly garnered multiple accolades, earning the title of Orlando's best Birria Tacos. Inspired by their journey and the support of the great people of Orlando, in 2023, the couple set their sights on a new horizon—the opening of their own restaurant. Despite the hurdles that lay in their path, their determination and the alignment of fate paved the way for the opening of Birria 1983's Mexican Bar & Grill.

On hand to help welcome the families of the fallen and the TAPS team were Mickey Mouse, the Walt Disney World Ambassadors and members of the Disney SALUTE veteran employee resource group who understand the loss of fellow service members due to military-connected service. “At TAPS we honor our fallen heroes every day,” said Diana Roday Hosford, TAPS Vice President, Sports & Entertainment. “We appreciated celebrating the life and service of all our loved ones with the Disney SALUTE team and all the cast members who made us feel like family when they welcomed us to the Magic Kingdom. Our time in Walt Disney World brings such joy and happiness to our TAPS families, it’s always very special to be here.” “Our parks are places that create happiness for all who visit, especially military families who can just enjoy being together in between times of extended separations,” said Walt Disney World Ambassador Serena Arvizu. “Being able to show support and provide this magical space for families to heal is one of the best parts of working for this company – it’s the Disney difference in action.” For the very latest Orlando Theme Park News click here, and for the latest Attractions News click here.
