4 Rivers Smokehouse
4 Rivers Smokehouse is a family-owned, faith-based restaurant founded in 2004, originally supporting local schools, churches, and charitable organizations. In October of 2009, they opened their first restaurant in Winter Park, Florida with a line out the door in the first hour.
Middleton is a perfect fit as they expand their business and bring great food to a great community.
It's a whole new market for us with all new friends. We're looking at Middleton as a pivot point in our company. We look forward to becoming part of their community, and to be a part of the development that's bringing families together, by intention and by design — that's right in our DNA.
