Box of Cubans, a popular fast-casual Cuban restaurant that launched eight years ago in Riverview, is expanding with a flagship location in Tampa. Owner Marcos Silverio shared with Business Debut that this new site, located at 17512 Dona Michelle Dr, Tampa, FL 33647, will serve as both a restaurant and a training hub for upcoming franchisees, with franchising anticipated to start early next year.

Known for its homemade empanadas, gourmet Cuban sandwiches, and rice bowls, Box of Cubans will add catering and box lunch options to the new location's offerings.

The 48-seat eatery will have a soft opening in mid-November, with a grand opening planned for December. Silverio and his family, including his wife, Oni, and son, MJ, the company’s COO, emphasize a hands-on approach to franchising and look forward to supporting future franchisees.
