Black Radish Grocer, a small boutique and curated all-plant-based vegan grocery store, is now open in Tampa’s V.M. Ybor neighborhood.
The shop, located at 2923 N. 12th St., was using sanitized order lockers in March, but has since opened its doors for on-site shopping and added offering delivery for its customers.
Some of its most popular items include Beyond and Impossible meats, fancy cheeses (Wendy’s, Jule’s), seitan filets, Oopsy Daisy “Vinkies” and Stonewall’s Jerquee snacks. Oh, and Follow Your Heart American cheese, too.
Black Radish says contactless pickup will be available indefinitely and is asking anyone who comes to shop in-person to be considerate. That means making distance between yourselves and others, wearing PPE “as you see fit” and doing your best to avoid touching products unless you plan on purchasing the item.
“We’ll also only be accepting debit/credit transactions at this time to avoid handling cash,” Black Radish wrote on social media.
The shop is closed for Memorial Day, but regular hours are 10 a.m.-6 p.m. daily. More information is at blackradishgrocer.com or by phone (813-467-6496).
