Florida’s Top Business Regulator Checks Out Molino Diner, Addresses Chamber
June 6, 2014
Florida’s top business regulator personally checked out a Molino restaurant Thursday before discussing the importance of his office at a Century Chamber of Commerce meeting.
Secretary of Business and Professional Regulation Ken Lawson gave rave review to Fran’s Diner and their blackberry cobbler. Fran’s Diner is one of the thousands of Florida restaurants regulated by Lawson’s department. The department also regulates cosmetologists, veterinarians, real estate agents, contractors and a long list of other businesses and professionals.
“I love to get out with the people,” Lawson told chamber members at a meeting in Century. “It’s important to have regulations, but it’s important to make doing business as easy as possible. When the economy is cold in Miami, it’s freezing in Century. So we have to do all we can for business. We are here to be partners with you. If you have rules in place, they better make sense.”
Lawson also expressed the importance of make sure contractors and other professionals have a valid license.
“We want people to trust but verify on our website,” he said. “If a licensee does wrong I can go after them.”

He should have tried Jimmy’s Catfish with Craw fish sauce over grits or the triple pig sandwich.
I would have asked Lawson resignation if he gave Fran a bad report. our kitchen away from home
Not dought Jimmy’s is great but ms Fran has done something no one has done in molino…. She’s kept the doors open for years! I hope
Jimmy’s can do the samething.
I have tried Fran’s and Jimmy’s blackberry cobbler. I can say without a doubt, the best one is at which ever restaurant I’m at that day. Both are great!
Congratulations Mrs Fran! Well deserved honor! We love your place and hope you stay forever! See you soon!
If Fran’s blew him away he should have tried Jimmy’s instead.
There are two restaurants in Molino and it looks to me like they made the right choice and chose the best one!
So glad to see Fran’s, a local business who has been here for years,recognized. We have many locally owned businesses in our community who deserve our support.
He should of tried Jimmy’s blackberry cobbler!
