Popi's Place on the Ranch Opens in Lakewood Ranch, Florida

The Ameres family are opening their eighth restaurant in the Bradenton-Sarasota area of Florida during the week of Jan 27, 2013. Popi's Place On The Ranch will continue the tradition of serving homemade “country classics” such as omelets, deli sandwiches and meatloaf. Famous for their comfort food and large portions, Popi's newest addition is located next to the Walmart in Ranch Lake Plaza, at the I-75 and SR70 intersection.

There is an Ameres family member at every Popi’s Place restaurant — all eight of them — in the kitchen at 4 a.m. making homemade biscuits. Andy Ameres and his wife, Kalli, will run Popi’s Place on the Ranch. Kalli Ameres fashioned the location like a ranch.

“Every location has its own character, but the principles in each are the same,” Andy Ameres said. “The recipes are consistent; we have a broad menu with filling portions. It’s hard to do this — to make things fresh to order and family-oriented. Our customers are understanding when we make mistakes because they know what we put into it.”

Andy Ameres said he expects to hire 30 to 40 people to staff the Lakewood Ranch location, including culinary students from Manatee Technical Institute.

“We still know how to stay small,” Andy Ameres said. “Any time we open a new restaurant, we’re excited to be a part of that neighborhood, and Lakewood Ranch is no different.”
