Bento Caf\u00e9 is not just in Gainesville anymore; the Bento Group has expanded into Orlando! College friends David Yu, Jimmy Tung and Johnny Tung started the Bento Group in 2002 in Gainesville but have recently expanded into North and Central Florida. The newest location near the University of Central Florida will consist of a 3,800 SF restaurant space with indoor and outdoor seating for 150 guests and a full liquor bar. The caf\u00e9 is located at 12250 Strategy Blvd., Suite 443 and is looking for new hires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Bento Group currently has Bento Caf\u00e9 locations in downtown Orlando and in the Dr. Phillips area. It will soon open its newest eatery near UCF. But that\u2019s not the final move for the Bento Group in Orlando. The group has its sights on another location in Winter Park near the new Trader Joe\u2019s, making it the fourth Bento Caf\u00e9 in Central Florida.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bento Caf\u00e9 already has six locations throughout North and Central Florida. The caf\u00e9 recently signed a lease for a new 3,000 SF Bento Caf\u00e9 in Tallahassee near Florida State University, and it\u2019s interested in a possible second location in midtown Tallahassee. The group is looking to enter the Tampa Bay and South Florida markets in 2015 with plans to open 40 Bento Caf\u00e9 locations within the next five years!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bento Cafe Plans for Expansion Bento Caf\u00e9 is not just in Gainesville anymore; the Bento…","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1555","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eatatbento.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1555"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eatatbento.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eatatbento.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eatatbento.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eatatbento.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1555"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/eatatbento.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1555\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eatatbento.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1555"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eatatbento.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1555"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eatatbento.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1555"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
