Casual dining restaurant chain Red Robin Gourmet Burgers has said that it will open a new Red Robin restaurant in Panama City Beach, located at 100 Bluefish Drive, off of Highway 98 in the Pier Park development, on Monday, March 9, 2009.
 
 Red Robin said that it will give away free Child ID Kits during grand opening week to support child safety efforts in the Panama City Beach community. In addition, to celebrate Red Robin's ongoing commitment to kids and families, the Panama City Beach restaurant has partnered with the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) to host a Burgers With A Heart fundraiser during grand opening week. Red Robin will donate 50 cents from every gourmet burger sold during this time to NCMEC to support its child safety initiatives.
 
Eric Houseman, Red Robin’s president and chief operating officer, said: "We look forward to serving craveable gourmet burgers to the community in the Panama City Beach area, while also supporting child safety efforts in the local community through our Child ID Kit program. We invite everyone to come to Red Robin to enjoy one of our more than two dozen high-quality gourmet burgers, learn more about child safety, and help us support the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children."
 
Red Robin focuses its philanthropic support on local and national causes that promote the health, welfare and education of children, families and citizens in the communities it serves.
The 5,495-square-foot Panama City Beach Red Robin restaurant will seat 164 guests.
