Costner said he is considering restaurant locations in Des Moines, Iowa City, Cedar Rapids and Davenport.
“I’m from Detroit, so Ford has always had a special place in my heart. The atmosphere, the quality of the food and the level of service at Ford’s Garage was really great,” Conatser said. “There’s nothing like it in Iowa, and we’re excited to bring something truly new and memorable to these communities.”

The news release did not say which cities would get the restaurants first.
