Fresh Kitchen (FK), the healthy, fast, modern-American bowl concept, announced the upcoming grand opening of its 20th Florida location — and its first in Southwest Florida — in Fort Myers, set for Spring 2027. Located at 16461 Corporate Commerce Way, Fort Myers, FL 33913, the new restaurant will bring FK’s signature scratchmade bowls, warm hospitality, and community-first spirit to Southwest Florida for the first time.
“When we opened our first Fresh Kitchen in Tampa in 2014, we set out to make healthy food more available, and to show people it could taste good, be affordable, and convenient. Opening our 20th location in Fort Myers is proof that this is how people want to eat. Thank you for all the support, Florida,” said Steven Lanza, Founder, Fresh Kitchen
“Fort Myers is an amazing community and a market we’ve wanted to be part of for a long time. We can’t wait to introduce Fresh Kitchen and share delicious, fresh, chef-made food with the people who call Fort Myers home. We hope this will be the first of multiple locations in the Fort Myers and Southwest Florida. We can’t wait to serve you,” added Tyler Azzarelli, CEO, Fresh Kitchen.
The Fort Myers opening marks Fresh Kitchen’s first restaurant in Southwest Florida, bringing the brand to one of the state’s fastest-growing markets. FK has had its eye on the area for years, waiting for the right site to make its move.
“We targeted this intersection for several years, waiting for the perfect location, and knew this freestanding building was the site to make our entry into the Fort Myers market,” said Matthew Livingston, Chief Development Officer, Fresh Kitchen. The company is already eyeing its next two or three restaurants in the Fort Myers trade area as it builds its presence in Southwest Florida.
Guests build their own bowl from familiar flavors inspired by the places they love, choosing from seasonal ingredients including fresh greens, grilled meats, perfectly seasoned rices and roasted vegetables cut in-house daily. The entire menu features hormone- and antibioticfree proteins and sustainably sourced seafood, and is 100% gluten-free with dairy-free and vegan options available, prepared without ultra-processed ingredients or seed oils, and always cooked with olive oil.
