Winter Garden-based WMG Development has started construction of a new Miller's Ale House off U.S. 27 and Park Place Boulevard. It will be the chain's fourth location in Polk County with existing restaurants in Davenport's ChampionsGate and two in Lakeland, on Lakeland Park Center and South Florida Avenue.

"We are excited to have this premier restaurant chain within our city limits,” Haines City Mayor Roy Tyler said in a press statement. “We are growing, and I am thankful for diverse dining options.”
