The restaurant that former UCF quarterback Daunte Culpepper helped open in August of 2013 has closed its doors, according to Brandon Helwig of UCF.rivals.com.
Culpepper’s, which was located on University Boulevard had a UCF theme. The restaurant was run by Culpepper, former UCF quarterback Kyle Israel and radio host Tony Comas.
TJ Davenport Group, Inc, the majority investors in Culpepper’s Orlando, have decided to sell the location to a Miami based franchise who will be introducing a new concept to the area.
“The support we received from the UCF & East Orlando community was humbling and we are proud to have been a part of so many great memories during this historic football season,” Tony Comas, Managing Partner for HIG, said. “I believe we really have a great formula for success here, and we will be looking to continue our hospitality commitment to the East Orlando & UCF community. You could not ask for a better partner than Daunte. The positive energy and level of commitment to the project was amazing and I know Daunte is excited about keeping the same level of engagement here with the University and Orlando community.”
