Former Merchant Returns to Pinecrest in S. FLorida With Original Restaurant Concept

MIAMI BEACH, FL– Terranova Corporation is adding unique local flavor to the tenant lineup at Suniland Shopping Center, (top right photo) bringing a former merchant with a new restaurant concept back to the Pinecrest area.

Cine-It Burger and Grill, an independently owned, casual restaurant serving homemade burgers and other favorites, opened a new 2,517-square foot restaurant at 11421 South Dixie Highway, at the Suniland Shopping Center on April 9.

Meals at Cine-It will be served in a fun setting in which big-screen TVs will play memorable scenes from movie favorites, such as Arnold Schwarzenegger’s “I’ll be back” scene in The Terminator and Clint Eastwood’s “Go ahead, make my day” scene in Sudden Impact.

“We are particularly delighted with this new tenant because he brings a fun, original and personal touch to the all-American burger meal, and I think the center’s customers are going to love it,” said Terranova executive vice president Mindy McIlroy, who represented the landlord in the lease.

“This is an experienced merchant who has served this market before and knows well what people like and need when they come to eat at Suniland.”

Cine-It Burger and Grill is owned by Jesse Vazquez, a veteran of the fast food industry in South Florida.

Vazquez worked for years in the McDonald’s chain, before owning the Chicken Kitchen franchise at Suniland.

The Chicken Kitchen still operates at Suniland, while Vazquez moved on to conceive and launch his own venture, resulting in the creation of Cine-It Burger & Grill.

He chose to open it in his former stumping ground.

“I couldn’t think of a better place to open my restaurant,” Vazquez said. “This is a great center and a great market, and I look forward to serving the many people who come to Suniland for lunch and dinner.”
