Dickey’s is bucking the trend. Other chains have closed some South Florida locations due to COVID-19, including California Pizza, Grand Lux Cafe, and Ruby Tuesday.
Dickey’s is opening in March at 374 Miracle Mile in a 1,420-square-foot space. It will be its 18th location in Florida, including one in Dania Beach.
The company chose Coral Gables to cater to families and the suit-and-tie crowd, said Karley Chynces, a broker with One Sotheby’s International Realty. She represented Dickey’s in the transaction.
