KISSIMMEE, Fla., June 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Outback Steakhouse^® is debuting its newest restaurant in Kissimmee, Florida, opening its doors at 4 p.m. on Wednesday, June 3. To show its support of the local community, a portion of the restaurant's opening day sales (up to $5,000) will benefit Give Kids the World, a nonprofit organization dedicated to treating children with life-threatening illnesses and their families to weeklong, cost-free fantasy vacations. The new restaurant will be the first in the area to feature a new "Modern Australia" design both inside and out.

"We love being a part of the Kissimmee community and are excited to open a new restaurant with a totally new design for our guests to enjoy," said Cathy Saboff, Managing Partner, Outback Steakhouse.
