Locations are generally named after the town or neighborhood in which the store is located; for example, Miller's Ale House - Davie in Davie, Florida, or Miller's Ale House - Levittown in Levittown, New York. The use of the name "Miller's" in the name is recent; in the past each restaurant was named for its location. For instance, the signage for the location in Gainesville, Florida was Gainesville Ale House, the location in Ocala, Florida was called Ocala Ale House and the multiple locations around Orlando, Florida were all called Orlando Ale House. There are 55 locations in Florida, eight in Pennsylvania, seven in Illinois, six in New York, four in New Jersey, three in Tennessee, two each in Georgia, Ohio, Nevada, and Maryland, and one each in Delaware, Massachusetts, and Virginia.[1]
