ORLANDO, FL – Universal Orlando Resort‘s CityWalk in Orlando, Florida is undergoing a wave of changes this spring, with three notable additions and replacements on the way.

What’s changing at CityWalk:

• Universal Legacy Store returns in late April, replacing the Epic Universe Preview Center, which closes April 13
• Five Guys replaces the Burger King Whopper Bar, with the CityWalk location closing April 21
• Category 10, a live music and dining venue from Luke Combs and Opry Entertainment Group, opens at a new waterfront location in 2027

Universal Legacy Store returning to CityWalk, replacing Epic Universe Preview Center

The Universal Legacy Store is set to return in late April with exclusive retro merchandise and photo opportunities inspired by Universal Studios Florida attractions and films from Universal Pictures including E.T., Jaws, Back to the Future and Universal Monsters. The Universal Legacy Store will take the place of the Universal Epic Universe Preview Center, which will close effective April 13 to make way for the new experience. The return signals Universal’s push to merchandise its classic IP alongside the new Epic Universe opening.

Five Guys replacing Burger King Whopper Bar

Burger King Whopper Bar is being replaced with Five Guys and their made-to-order burgers and fries concept. The CityWalk Burger King location will close on Apr. 21. Five Guys currently has over 1,300 locations around the world and 1,700 under development.

Luke Combs’ Category 10 coming to CityWalk in 2027

Country music star Luke Combs and Opry Entertainment Group are planning to bring the popular entertainment venue to a brand-new waterfront location where guests can enjoy live music, food and spirits, and more in 2027 at Universal Orlando Resort’s CityWalk. The Southern concept menu includes burgers, steaks, ribs, salads, wings, fried pickle chips, fries and more. The venue will make Universal one of the few theme park destinations with a major country music entertainment brand — a notable differentiator as competition in the Orlando market intensifies.
