Popular national wine bar and eatery expands in SWFL, seeks to hire 100 people

Cooper’s Hawk Winery & Restaurants is opening its second Southwest Florida location, this one in Fort Myers. 

The new spot for the popular wine bar and eatery, scheduled to open this spring  on Six Mile Cypress Parkway near Daniels Parkway, joins a sister location in Naples and is store No. 55 companywide. Other Cooper’s Hawk locations are in Sarasota and Tampa.  

“Fort Myers has grown significantly over the past few years and continues to gain a national reputation as a destination for fine-dining experiences, making it a natural fit for the Cooper’s Hawk brand,” Founder Tim McEnery says in a release. “The year-round beautiful weather, scenic surroundings and its residents’ active lifestyle were also very appealing.”
