Cody’s to expand under new ownership

Cody’s Original Roadhouse, a 12-unit casual-dining chain in Florida, is planning expansion in the state under new ownership.

The Clearwater, Fla.-based chain signed its first master franchise deal with Allen Musikantow, who will expand the Cody’s brand in the central and north Florida markets, Mark Weber, Cody’s president and one of its new owners, told NRN this week. Musikantow already operates Cody’s restaurants in three communities in central Florida.
