Wild Fork Foods, a boutique meat and seafood market, opens on 4th Street
/
Ostrich, anyone? Wild Fork Meat and Seafood Market has opened its first St. Petersburg store, and it is unlike your traditional neighborhood grocery store - selling everything from alligator tenderloins to venison rib racks.
Wild Fork, offering the widest selection of high-quality meat and seafood, has debuted at 2801 4th Street North on the site of the former Alcove Assisted Living directly across the street from The Fresh Market and Trader Joe's.
Local commercial real estate developer Belleair Development Group purchased the property in 2021 for $3.25 million. The structures were demolished, and a new 4,950-square-foot building was constructed for Wild Fork.

A 31-acre office property along McCann Lake has received preliminary approval for what would become the largest apartment community in Pinellas Park, with 552 units, including at least 221 affordable apartments.
City staff approved the preliminary site plan on September 30th for 10222 MCI Drive in the Gateway Centre Business Park.
The two-phase development would replace an office campus with nine four-story apartment buildings, two clubhouses, pickleball courts, and 847 parking spaces.
The apartment proposal relies on Florida’s Live Local Act, which allows residential development on the industrially zoned property, provided that at least 40% of the apartments, or at least 221 units, are reserved for households earning at or below 120% of the area median income for a minimum of 30 years.
The remaining 331 apartments would be leased at market rates.
Plans call for apartments ranging from studios to three-bedroom units. All nine residential buildings would rise four stories, with a maximum height of 50 feet.
