A fast food restaurant has been proposed for a site immediately next to a planned new Walmart Supercenter, The Citizen has learned.
According to an application submitted to the county Friday, the developers of a vacant parcel next to the big box retailer want to build out a 5,858 square foot “quick serve” eatery.
The name of the proposed restaurant was not disclosed in the new paperwork but Fort Lauderdale-based engineering firm Bowman Consulting Group Ltd. is behind the project and has previously provided services to new Chik-fil-As in Florida.
The location would include “dual drive thru lanes and indoor/outdoor dining,” according to the application.
The planned Walmart Supercenter has a listed address of 3405 International Golf Parkway, while the fast food project is listed as 3405 B on the same stretch, papers show.
The restaurant would sit on 2.89 acres.
As first reported by The Citizen last week, Walmart submitted a plan to build out a new store across the street from Tocoi Creek High School.
The development is roughly 2 miles from a cluster of major big box retailers, including Costco, Buc-ees, and a newly opened Bass Pro Shops.
The news was met with mixed reactions, with some howling about thickening traffic in the area while others welcomed additional retail options.
