LEESBURG, FL — That 716 Pizza Joint is preparing to open its Lake County location inside Lake Square Mall, with owner Martina Smith targeting a late February debut pending final permits and equipment installation. Smith told Business Debut the restaurant will open at 10401 U.S. Highway 441, Suite 322, Leesburg, FL 34788, with access from both outside the mall and an interior entrance.
The Leesburg restaurant will be Smith’s first as an owner and the second That 716 Pizza Joint location overall. The Lake County restaurant operates as a franchise of the original Lakeland location, which launched the brand.
What to Expect
The restaurant will offer a hybrid of fast-casual and dine-in service, with seating expected for about 75 guests. The 5,000-square-foot space is designed as a Buffalo sports-themed restaurant, centered on the Buffalo Bills and Buffalo Sabres.
“It’s definitely going to be sports-style,” Smith told Business Debut. “But it’s still very family friendly.”…
