Mellow Mushroom breaks ground in Cape
Mellow Mushroom Pizza Bakers has announced a new location will open in Cape Coral, Florida next spring. Ground was broken last Thursday, Nov. 2, at 53 N.E. Pine Island Road, and the restaurant will mark the brand’s first restaurant in Cape Coral.
“We’re excited to plant roots in Cape Coral and continue to expand Mellow Mushroom’s footprint,” said Mike Foster, chief operating officer at Mellow Mushroom. “We’ll be working alongside the location’s new owner Chris Scuderi to bring the restaurant to life, and are eager to welcome another community into the Mellow family.”
Neighboring Cape Coral’s amusement destination Gator Mike’s Family Fun Park, the 5,479-square-foot store will offer a familiar selection of the brand’s stone-baked specialty pizzas and Mellow vibes along with vibrant selections of shareable munchies, greens, remixed sandwiches, smash-style burgers and sweet treats.
Baked with the same modern psychedelic nostalgia diners know and love, the Cape Coral location will dually stay true to its coastal roots with subtle interior design elements reflective of its surroundings, including an anchoring canal motif throughout the space that will lead guests to their tables.
Complete with a 60-plus seat main dining room and a full bar featuring 24 beer taps, the space will also debut an expansive covered outdoor patio offering the ideal ambiance for dining and imbibing al fresco.
Touted for its cult-like following and counterculture essence, Mellow Mushroom blends the boundaries between art, music, high quality ingredients and passionate standards for dining. Each individual restaurant is uniquely reflective of its local community while holding true to Mellow Mushroom’s core values and brand.
