Detwiler’s Farm Market in early talks for south St. Pete store

South St. Pete may soon be home to one of the area’s most popular grocery stores.

Earlier today, the St. Petersburg City Council approved a lease and development agreement with Sugar Hill Group to redevelop Tangerine Plaza at 1794 22nd Street South into 115 affordable apartments and 10,000 square feet of commercial space, which will include a grocery store at least 3,000 square feet in size.
