It’s been a wild year-and-a-half for Earth Fare, and after announcing plans to close all of its locations the North Carolina-based organic and health food store has announced plans to return to Tampa Bay.

In a press release, Earth Fare said that it’s grand reopening in Seminole City Center is on Saturday, Jan. 23. The location was home to Tampa Bay’s first Earth Fare and intended to pave the way for 15 more Florida locations before February when the chain announced plans to close all locations.

There’s a wellness basket and dinner for two up for grabs at the Jan. 23 reopening, which kicks off at 8 a.m. More information and social distancing guidelines are available via the Seminole City Center location’s Facebook page.
