Mastry's Brewing Co. to build massive mixed-use brewery in Pinellas Park’s City Center District
/
St. Pete Beach’s first craft brewery Mastry's Brewing Co. is expanding its operations with a new manufacturing hub in Pinellas Park, serving as a centerpiece for the city’s emerging City Center District.
Matthew Dahm, founder and CEO of Mastry's Brewery, alongside partner Robert Czysczon of Plaza Beach Resorts, plans to build a new 5,000-plus-square-foot beverage manufacturing operation and a 16,000-square-foot market at 5805 Park Boulevard.
The site redevelopment is a major stepping stone for Pinellas Park, which has long planned to establish a true "downtown" stretching across 15 city blocks. According to the 2050 comprehensive plan, the new City Center District will encompass a new City Hall, a Public Safety (law enforcement, fire and emergency services) facility, residential and commercial uses, and public parks.

More than six years after the Wagon Wheel Flea Market closed its doors, plans are taking shape to redevelop the sprawling property that was once home to one of Pinellas County's most popular weekend shopping destinations.
Pinellas Park-based Belleair Development Group is under contract to purchase approximately 156 acres at 7801 Park Boulevard North, where the Wagon Wheel and Mustang flea markets operated for more than five decades before closing in 2020.
Christian Yepes, owner of Belleair Development Group alongside his father, Carlos Yepes, confirmed the company is exploring options for a mixed-use development that could bring residential and commercial uses to the largely vacant property.
“We are extremely grateful for the opportunity to develop such a landmark in Pinellas County. We are currently in the midst of due diligence and are exploring mixed-use development options at the site,” Yepes said in a conversation with St. Pete Rising.
The property is currently owned by the family of Hardy Huntley, who founded the Wagon Wheel Flea Market with his wife, Janet, in the 1960s.
