Heavenly Biscuit Reopening This Weekend After Devastation From Hurricane Ian

Author Diana Beasley

This news has been making the rounds all summer and it’s almost time.  Another beloved small business is coming back to the beach.

After being washed away during Hurricane Ian almost 11 months ago, Heavenly Biscuit is making their return to Ft. Myers Beach.  This is the best news we’ve heard all day.

The new Heavenly Biscuit is coming back strong, and this time, it’s on wheels.

“After the hurricane, it looked like that was the end,” Tyler Lukesic told The News Press of the Fort Myers Beach restaurant. “I knew I couldn’t let that happen. So I decided to do it myself. I took a leap of faith to get it back.”

According to the Heavenly Biscuit Facebook page, they will open in the same spot, at 110 Mango Street on Fort Myers Beach.  Opening day is this Saturday, August 12th.  They’ll be open seven days a week from 7:30am – 2:30pm.  Or, until they’re sold out.  And with the food their putting out, that could happen.

You can also pick up some Heavenly Biscuit swag while supplies last.

You can bet your bottom dollar I’ll be down there soon for my favorite, the classic bacon, egg and cheese.

25 Restaurants Are Now Open On Sanibel And Captiva Islands

It’s hard to believe Hurricane Ian hit almost a year and a half ago and while we still have a long way to go, more than 25 restaurants are now open on Sanibel and Captiva Islands.

I’ve been spending a lot time on our local beaches. I love that here in Southwest Florida, even when there’s nothing to do, there’s something to do. And that something for me, is always heading to the beach. I usually head to Sanibel to either Bowman’s Beach or Tarpon Bay Beach. I love Gulfside City Park too, but rarely do I make it out early enough to get a parking spot. It’s been SO nice seeing all the people out enjoying the beaches, it’s been busy nearly every weekend.

There’s also a lot of businesses reopening too. Between lodging, restaurants, shopping, and things to do like kayaking and fishing charters. I will say that driving around out there just breaks your heart. It’s not so much that there’s debris everywhere, it just looks very bare and to see huge homes and condo complexes just crumbling, is so sad. Slowly but surely though, things are reopening and the island is welcoming visitors back out to the islands to stay, play and dine. You can find a full list of open businesses here
