Restaurants Donating Proceeds for Hurricane Relief

Tijuana Flats and Cameron Mitchell Restaurants, owner of Ocean Prime, have announced plans to donate profits to Hurricane Irma relief efforts.

Tijuana Flats, the home-grown fast-casual chain, will donate 10 percent of all profits from each of its locations from Friday, Sept. 15 through Sunday, Sept. 17. The Maitland-based company is also working with Florida Restaurant & Lodging Association and Florida’s Emergency Operations Centers (EOC) to coordinate much food deliveries to various shelters and communities throughout the state.

Tijuana Flats’ chief executive officer, Larry Ryback, said in a statement, “We are a Central Florida-based company, so we have seen first hand how areas across the state are suffering in the aftermath of Irma.”

Tijuana Flats was started in Winter Park in 1995 and now has 125 locations in six states.

Cameron Mitchell Restaurants will donate all profits from sales on Monday, Sept. 18, to relief efforts for both recent hurricanes, Harvey and Irma. Locally, CMR operates Ocean Prime, a casually upscale steak and seafood house on Restaurant Row in Orlando.

“After seeing the devastation left behind in the wake of Hurricanes Harvey and Irma, we knew we had to find a way to help,” said David Miller, president and chief operating officer, Cameron Mitchell Restaurants. “Partnering with the American Red Cross allows our restaurants and guests to provide a helping hand to the residents of Texas, Florida and other affected areas, as they recover from these tragic weather events.”

The restaurant will also encourage its customers to make additional donations. For every $100 donation made to the American Red Cross at the restaurant on Sept. 18, the company will offer a $25 Cameron Mitchell Restaurants’ promotional gift card valid toward any food purchases on a future visit.

For more information on either of the charity programs, visit Tijuana Flats or Cameron Mitchell Restaurants, which also includes a list of other CMR restaurants in other parts of the country that will be making donations. Note that although it was first started by Cameron Mitchell, Mitchell’s Fish House in Winter Park is not owned by CMR.
