One restaurant serving soul food, which is currently located in Brevard County, has plans to open a second location in the Orlando area.
The grant application that Loyd Have Mercy Orlando submitted to the Small Business Facade, Site Improvement, and Adaptive Reuse Program (Small Business Facade, Site Improvement, and Adaptive Reuse Program) was approved and given clearance just the week before last.
Alterations would need to be made to the electrical system, the mechanical system, and the safety system at the Dezerland Action Park in Orlando in order for the work to be completed.
The FSARP is a loan that has no interest and a delayed payment, and it will match loan funds to help reduce the costs of design upgrade charges including painting, lighting, and signs.
According to the documentation that was preserved by the municipality, the restaurant was in compliance with all of the prerequisites necessary to take part in the Business Assistance Program.
In the context of the program, the city will provide a loan covering anywhere from fifty to eighty percent of the total cost of the refurbishment.
In the beginning, Loyd Have Mercy was a restaurant that could be found in Titusville. It gained notoriety very fast due to the soul food that was prepared in-house and made available for takeout, in addition to being catered.
According to the entrepreneur, Andrew Loyd, they are planning to launch their business on International Drive sometime during the summer.
