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.

Plans have been revealed for two 44-story condominium towers at the site of the Hilton St. Petersburg Bayfront, in what would be one of the largest condo developments ever proposed for downtown St. Pete.
Delray Beach-based Kolter Urban recently circulated a site plan application to neighborhood and business associations outlining a $325 million redevelopment of the hotel property at 333 1st Street South.
If built as proposed, the towers would rise up to 509 feet. Only two existing or planned towers in St. Petersburg would be taller: the 515-foot Residences at 400 Central and the 539-foot Waldorf Astoria Residences planned at 150 2nd Avenue South.
The two new towers, which have been designed by 10 Design, would tie for the city’s third-tallest buildings, ahead of the 450-foot Art House and ONE St. Petersburg towers and the 408-foot Saltaire.
The proposal calls for 325 condo units, 17,988 square feet of commercial space, and a 519-space parking garage.
Kolter would also make 207 spaces in the adjacent Saltaire garage available to residents, for a total of 726 parking spaces.
