Apopka's newest restaurant opens tomorrow

Posted

The restaurant menu includes items named the "Blue Darter" and the "Orange County."

Ken Maltby is a native Apopkan who wanted to bring "something different" to his home town. Tomorrow he will accomplish his goal by opening Apopka's newest restaurant, Charlie Graingers.

The grand opening is tomorrow beginning at 11:00 AM. Today the Apopka Area Chamber of Commerce held a ribbon-cutting event which was attended by Mayor Joe Kilsheimer and City Commissioner Kyle Becker.

Ken says he chose Charlie Graingers after evaluating other franchise opportunities.

“I was raised in Apopka but moved to Amelia Island when I was in junior high school,” said Maltby. “My grandparents, parents, aunts and uncles all graduated from Apopka High School. We are excited to bring this new but simple concept to Apopka and will be adding two more locations in the near future."

Charlie Graingers, known for its unique hot dogs, brisket and BBQ, is coming to Apopka.

The plans for the restaurant were submitted to the City of Apopka back in October. Ken Maltby's restaurant is only the third Charlie Graingers location in Florida. The new restaurant is located next to Tijuana Flats in the Victoria Plaza shopping center at 921 West US Highway 441.

Charlie Graingers' menu features 18 different hot dog items with names such as the Peacock, the Mailman, the Emerald Coast, the Wildcat, the Jamaican, the Cape Fear and many more, including the Blue Darter and the Orange County.

If you are not a big hot dog fan, that is OK, since Charlie Graingers also offers "housemade sandwiches", salads and sides.

Charlie Graingers is a fairly new company with five locations in North Carolina and two each in Florida, Mississippi and South Carolina.

But the company has big plans to open more than 100 locations in Florida.
