AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Food & Retail Watch: White Castle is breaking ground on a Daytona Beach location at 1944 LPGA Blvd, targeting a late-fall 2026 opening and promising 70+ jobs. Public Health: The USDA/FSIS issued a public health alert for beef kofta at The Kebab Shop in Florida (plus CA and TX) tied to a possible Shiga toxin-producing E. coli risk; the items were pulled from sale May 18 and consumers are told to discard leftovers. Local Openings: Sweet Tomatoes’ Fort Myers grand opening is set for June 1 after a strong soft opening that’s drawn 1,000+ guests a day. Community & Safety: FPL is urging early hurricane prep as the season ramps up, while Charlotte County reports multiple brush fires and residents are keeping “go” bags ready. Immigration/Policy: Human Rights Watch says the Trump administration deported 4,300+ Cubans to Mexico, leaving many older, sick people stranded without shelter or care.
