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.

Golden Corral is returning to Pinellas County with plans for its first St. Pete restaurant inside the former Hooters at Tyrone Square Mall.
The popular American all-you-eat buffet chain will open at 2250 Tyrone Boulevard, according to plans submitted to the City of St. Petersburg. An opening date has not yet been announced.
The 8,105-square-foot restaurant will take over the building where Hooters operated for 15 years, from 2006 until late 2021. At the time, the chain cited changes in shopping habits and declining mall foot traffic in announcing the closure.
The new Golden Corral will be operated by franchisee Britt Guyer, who owns Golden Corral restaurants in Winter Haven and downtown Tampa. Guyer was not immediately available for comment.
