Fort Myers-based chain is the first restaurant to receive rights to the brand )  Ford’s Garage, a prime burger and craft beer restaurant, is pleased to announce it has entered into a brand licensing agreement with the Ford Motor Company. The Fort Myers, Fla.-based restaurant chain is the first in its industry to be issued rights to the iconic blue oval logo and Ford’s brand imagery including archived historical photographs, images of vehicles, and actual Model-Ts. FG Restaurant Group received the license from Ford Motor Company after a comprehensive review, which demonstrated a high level of confidence in the rapidly expanding restaurant group. Marc Brown, a partner in the original Ford’s Garage, served as liaison between the two entities during the months-long process. Presently, Ford’s Garage has three locations including the newly redeveloped historic River District of downtown Fort Myers. Located only one mile from the Edison & Ford Winter Estates, this popular spot to meet and dine resides in the historic Dean Building, built in 1923.

Additional locations have opened in Estero’s Miromar Outlets as well as Downtown Cape Coral.

And while AT&T won't disclose any information on its number of customers, it has just announced plans to add six more cities to its Digital Life-compatible roster on Friday, May 23. The addition of Beaumont, Texas; and Oxnard, Calif. will take the grand total up to 81 US markets. In addition to its growing availability, AT&T has also introduced a new home automation device to the Digital Life mix. It's a $50 remote garage-door controller that's supposed to let you open and close your garage door directly from the Digital Life Web or mobile app. Monthly fees for this functionality include the requisite $40 Smart Security package along with the $5 door package add-on. AT&T's Digital Life is a bit different than the home-security systems we've covered lately, like Piper and Scout that include both security features and additional smart home options without a required monthly fee. AT&T will also have to do battle with standalone smart garage devices. Take Alottazs Labs' Garageio .
