Central Ave’s Bodega Expansion Plan

In an update from an article we wrote a few months ago we regarding Bodega’s speculative expansion, St. Pete’s little slice of Cuba, Bodega, is about to get bigger. George and Debbie Sayegh are planning on expanding their business into 1114 Central Ave. No changes are planned for their little spot as is, the new space will be used to capitalize and magnify their soda fresca concept. The new space will be used as a juice bar with fresh and unique options to satisfy all flavorful curiosities. The opening date remains tentative. However long it takes, we’ll be waiting patiently with plate after plate of maduros and lechon.

Furnish Me Vintage Expanding Too!

Furnish Me Vintage is hosting a grand opening event to celebrate their recent expansion from 7,000 to approximately 12,000 sq. ft. in the former Gasplant Antiques Mall building. This recent expansion makes them one of the largest retail showrooms for midcentury modern furniture in the nation.  Free beer and food will be provided by The Burg Bar and Grill. There will be a 10% discount off all purchases storewide.  A PacMan competition will be held with prizes including a 3-day getaway at the Shaggin Chalet Retro Cabin in Gatlinburg, TN or an Atari 2600 with factory sealed games.  The ribbon cutting begins at 5pm and the party goes until 9pm!

Brew D Licious Joins The Local Grind

There are new grinders on Central Ave.  As their motto goes, "we’re not a cafe, we’re a coffee shop."  Brew D Licious beans are roasted to order each week.  They carry only the finest blends to get you to work in the morning, to get you home in the afternoon or just to complement another wonderful day in the ‘Burg.  Consistent with their fresh complex the new coffee shop offers muffins and cakes straight from Le Mouton Noir Bakery in Tampa and honey straight from the hives of Winter Park!  You can find them at 667 Central Ave.
