TAMPA — University Mall has unveiled the two restaurants that will open this fall, a piece of a renovation that has been in the works for more than a year.

RD Management LLC, which owns the mall, announced Wednesday that construction is under way for Portillo's, a Chicago-style restaurant chain, and Miller's Ale House, a casual bar and restaurant.

"The addition of Portillo's and Miller's Ale House, two popular restaurants, are the next step in the redevelopment of this property to become a mixed-use hub for the region," Roger Hirschhorn, senior vice president of RD Management, wrote in a statement. The company bought the mall in December 2014.

University Mall, on E Fowler Avenue near the University of South Florida campus, is also home to Studio Movie Grill, Sears, Dillard's, Macy's and Burlington Coat Factory.
