    About Brandon

    This thriving area east of Tampa has really grown in recent years and offers lots of shopping, dining and things to do. The Westfield Brandon mall is anchored by Dillard’s, JCPenney, Macy’s and Sears. In and around the mall along the State Road 60 corridor is an assortment of chain restaurants, such as Beef O’Brady’s, which started right here in Brandon, as well as Cheesecake Factory, Ruby Tuesday and California Pizza Kitchen.
