Building off of the success of their first Orlando location downtown, the Wahlberg brothers could soon bring Wahlburgers to Waterford Lakes in East Orlando. Gina Buell, an entrepreneur and franchisee, says they are currently in negotiation with property management.

In addition to full service and fast-casual dining, the restaurant would offer a full bar and merchandise sections. It's expected that the celebrity family will attend the grand opening, if a grand opening is in line. The restaurant would come at a great time, and should complement other new comers to the area such as Cooper's Hawk, Duffy's Sports Bar, Marlow's Tavern, ZaZa Cuban Diner and Little Greek.
