East Manatee County-based daytime dining concept First Watch plans to expand in and around its headquarters, with two new locations in each Manatee and Hillsborough counties. 

The new locations include one at 2326 W. Brandon Blvd. in Brandon, a 160-seat restaurant that opened Monday, and 1520 Cortez Road W. in Bradenton, a 190-seat restaurant scheduled to open Dec. 11. The other locations, expected to open by next summer, are in Lakewood Ranch along State Road 70 and Lorraine Road and another one in Downtown Tampa, according to a statement.

The four new First Watch locations will bring the company’s total in the Greater Tampa Bay region to 35. First Watch, publicly traded on the Nasdaq exchange under the symbol FWRG, had $730.16 million in revenue in 2022. The company’s headquarters is in a Benderson Development office park off Interstate 75 and University Parkway.
