TAMPA — Restaurant company MVP Holdings plans to bring the sports-themed Glory Days Grill to Florida. The Tampa restaurant group, which is owned by Outback Steakhouse founders Bob Basham, Chris Sullivan, along with Nick Reader, expects to sign an agreement with Fairfax, Va.-based Glory Days Grill for the exclusive right to franchise its brand statewide starting with a New Tampa location.

The agreement is still being negotiated, but is expected to be finalized soon, MVP says in a news release.

The deal as currently envisioned would give MVP Holdings the right to own and operate Glory Days Grill restaurants in Florida and to franchise the restaurant concept to other operators in the state as well.

The first Glory Days Grill in Florida is scheduled to open in the first quarter in a former Lee Roy Selmon's building at 17508 Dona Michelle Drive, Tampa.

Glory Days Grill currently owns and operates 18 corporate locations in Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia and has two franchised restaurants in Richmond, Va.

MVP Holdings owns and operate the PDQ, Carmel Cafe & Wine Bar and Lee Roy Selmon's restaurants.
