Blake Shelton’s Ole Red restaurant chain is about to make a splash in Florida: its fourth location will open in Orlando in 2020. Plans for the project were revealed in mid-September with Shelton promising a good time in the tourist destination.

“We’ve brought Ole Red to some of my favorite places, and I’m excited to have another spot for country music fans to have fun with their friends and family,” said Shelton (quote via Orlando Business Journal). “I think it’s impossible to visit Orlando and not have a good time, and that’s why I know Ole Red is going to fit right in.”

“We are delighted to expand the Ole Red dining and live country music experience to the top tourism destination in the country. The development site we have identified is in a prime entertainment zone that will put the Ole Red brand in front of the more than 70 million people who visit Orlando each year,” added Colin Reed, chairman and CEO of Ryman Hospitality Properties.

The project, set to open in the Icon Orlando 360 Development (approximately seven miles northeast of Walt Disney World Resorts), will be nearly 15,000 square feet in size, with seating for 500 guests amongst its two floors. The venue will feature live music for a concert-quality experience, as well as indoor and outdoor private event spaces. Patrons will be treated to a view of the complex’s 400-foot observation wheel, Icon Orlando.

The location will be the fourth under the Ole Red moniker. Shelton and Ryman Hospitality opened the first location in the singer’s hometown of Tishomingo, OK, with another location following in Nashville. A third location is scheduled to open in Gatlinburg, TN in 2019.
