Word on the street is that BB Junction, the burgerie on Fairbanks Avenue in Winter Park, will be vacating that spot and another restaurant venture is in talks to take it over.

One of the owners of the business considering the space would not speak on the record because a deal has not yet been signed. An email sent to BB Junction’s “contact us” address was not immediately answered. There are no details regarding the time frame or whether BB Junction will be relocated.

The restaurant space, at 2103 W. Fairbanks Ave., was, of course, the original location of 4 Rivers Smokehouse when it first opened, in 2009. It quickly outgrew the space, a former service station, and moved down the block to a newly constructed building, a design that has become a template for the ever-growing number of 4 Rivers Smokehouses, now at about a dozen or so. (One will open in Kissimmee soon and the first out-of-state location, in Atlanta, will debut next year.)

BB Junction moved in in late 2012. It might be logical to assume that the business’ lease will be expiring in a few months, but that’s only conjecture at this point.

One would also think that any food business that takes over the space has the dream of duplicating the success of 4 Rivers. Apparently it couldn’t be done with burgers.

Maybe it can be done with tacos.

Watch this space.
