TENANT DESCRIPTION

Outback Steakhouse was founded in 1988 in Tampa, Florida, by a group of industry veterans who sought to create an Australian-themed steakhouse with high-quality food and an inviting, casual atmosphere. The brand quickly gained popularity across the U.S. for its signature steaks, Bloomin’ Onion appetizer, and mid-range pricing. Outback is now operated by Bloomin’ Brands, Inc., which also owns Carrabba’s, Bonefish Grill, and Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse.
