Palm Harbor, FL (February 12, 2025) – European Equities is pleased to announce the successful completion of a ten-year lease agreement with Metro Diner for 3,662 square feet of retail space at Fountains Shopping Center in Palm Harbor. David McComas of European Equities represented the company in this transaction.
Metro Diner’s story began in 1938, when the building that would become its first location opened in Jacksonville, Florida. Officially branded in 1992, Metro Diner quickly became a beloved local establishment, known for its comforting classics and reimagined favorites. Today, the brand has grown to include 64 locations across 12 states, continuing to serve guests with the same warmth and quality that has made it a favorite for generations.
“With Tiffany’s Restaurant’s 40-year history, we know that the addition of Metro Diner to the Fountains Shopping Center will make an immediate impact, especially with the local residents who have been so loyal to Tiffany’s over the years. I’m thrilled to ink a deal with such a successful restaurateur as Hugh Connerty, whose vision and expertise will undoubtedly bring something special to the community.” – David McComas
