Duckweed Urban Grocery is on the heels of opening its newest location–an approximately 3,000-square-foot space in the Westshore Marina District, at 5212 Bridge Street, close to the corner of Gandy and Westshore Boulevards.
Our once little Duckweed is all growns up.
The health-conscious grocery store has grown exponentially in the nine years since opening. The first incarnation of the store won a Best of the Bay for Best Little Grocery Store for its itty-bitty space next to The Hub, at 305 E. Polk St, current home to Supernatural Food and Wine.
In 2016, Duckweed opened its second location in the Channel District and then in 2018–after a change of owners–the original location moved to the much bigger space at the bottom of the Element apartments, 803 N. Tampa Street. That same year Farmacy Vegan Kitchen + Bakery opened within the grocer and has since provided the public with plant-based comfort food (cheesesteaks, BLTs) and baked goods.
Farmacy is now also in the Channel district location and will be in the Westshore store as well–both shops also have liquor store additions.
Though the opening date is unknown other than “soon” the company is hiring for cashiers–send your resume to [email protected].
