Lucky’s 13 Pub will open its first Florida location next fall in Cape Coral. This is the first expansion outside of the Upper Midwest for the rustic, American-style pub and eatery.

“I love this community and spend so much time in this part of southwest Florida, specifically Cape Coral, that this was the first place I thought of when looking to expand,” said Lucky’s 13 Pub founder, Charlie Burrows. “I think Lucky’s will be a great addition to the local bar and restaurant scene, and a familiar name to Midwestern transplants.”

The family friendly, rustic-style pub will be located at 3902 Del Prado Blvd., S. The new owners plan to extensively renovate and expand the former Pizza Hut space over the coming months, adding a 3,500 foot addition that will include indoor-outdoor seating, a second bar area, bocce ball courts, plus a stage for live performances. Upon completion, the pub will have seating for up to 300 guests.

Lucky’s 13 Pub opened its first location 2007 in Mendota, Minn. Famous for its Bloody Marys, the pub features an extensive drink menu, along with a curated collection of local, national and international beers. On the food side, it emphasizes fresh, scratch cooking. The pub has an eclectic menu offering familiar American pub fare such as burgers and hand-crafted sandwiches, as well as Tex-Mex, Italian and Asian-inspired dishes, including fresh sushi. The family friendly pub also offers a children’s menu, and is popular with families for its free children’s toy chest that helps keep kids entertained while mom and dad enjoy their dinner and drinks.

Once open, the Cape Coral store will be the concept’s ninth location. Lucky’s 13 Pub currently has five suburban stores located in the Minneapolis/St. Paul metro area, as well as two locations in North Dakota and is partners with an eighth location in South Dakota.

Lucky’s 13 Pub is owned by Minnesota-based, Eclectic Culinary Concepts, a small, family owned operation. In addition to Lucky’s 13 Pub, Eclectic Culinary Concepts’ other restaurants include, Pajarito, Me & Julio and Yankee Tavern, all located in the Twin Cities area.
