TR Fire Grill & Lounge, the casual concept from Orlando based Romacorp, parent company of Tony Roma’s, has closed its Winter Park location. Sunday, Feb. 25, was the final day of operation.
This was the second location of the first TR Fire Grill. The first one opened in 2013 near Orlando International Airport. It closed there in 2015 and reopened at the corner of Lee Road and Orlando Avenue in Winter Park in February of 2016. In between, the company made vast improvements over the food and service and gained some loyal fans, but apparently not enough to overcome the increasing competition in that area.
Since opening the Winter Park location, Romacorp has introduced TR Fire Grills to Waikiki and Kuala Lumpur. Those locations remain, and indeed other Central Florida locations will be investigated to reopen here, according to a spokesman. “We have thoroughly enjoyed serving and connecting with the Winter Park community, but it is time for us to seek new opportunities and potential new locations for TR Fire Grill,” said Jim Rogers in an email Monday morning.
