International Buffet coming to Wesley Chapel

On my way to a listing appointment in Wesley Chapel this afternoon I noticed some activity as I drove by the former Johnny Carinos on SR 54 which has been closed since 2007.  There were dumpsters outside and the front door was open.  So, afterwards I stopped by the restaurant and discovered that it is in the process of being remodeled inside!  Back in September I posted a photograph of the "Super Buffet" banners that appeared in front of Johnny Carinos and after a long period of no activity/additional info. I had pretty much given up on a buffet coming to the restaurant.  Today I was informed that they anticipate opening the International Buffet at the location in about 45 days!
