A Detwiler’s Farm Market is coming to Bradenton. Grocery store announces opening date
A new Detwiler’s Farm Market will open in West Bradenton in December, the company announced Friday afternoon.
The popular local grocery store announced that it will beopening its sixth location in the Sarasota and Manatee County area with the new West Bradenton store set to open Thursday, Dec. 14, at 8 a.m.
It will be the first Detwiler’s in Bradenton.
The store is located at 3500 53rd Ave. W. in Bradenton.
“We are so excited to serve the West Bradenton community,” said Henry Detwiler, the store’s founder, in a news release. “We can’t wait to give our customers our farm market experience and offer new departments to make grocery shopping even more fun. Our commitment to providing the best products at the best prices and giving customers a great experience will not change even as we grow.”
The store will be Detwiler’s second in Manatee County and the sixth overall. The company has stores ranging from Palmetto in the north to Venice in the south.
The first Manatee County location opened at 1800 U.S. 301 N., Palmetto, in 2019.
The Bradenton location was first announced in February, when Benderson Development announced that Detwiler’s signed a 50,000-square-foot space in Marketplace West in the 3500 block of 53rd Avenue East.
Detwiler’s will join Dollar Tree, Petland, Fresca Pizza and Pasta and Mountain Comforts Coffee Café in the West Bradenton shopping center.
In preparation for the new location, Detwiler’s held a job fair on Oct. 4 at the new store.
At the time, the company said it was looking to hire over 100 people to staff the new store, as well as its other five locations and warehouses.
In addition to the farm fresh produce, meat and seafood, bakery and groceries that the store has come to be known for, this new location will also feature new departments for Detwiler’s, such as hot foods and fresh baked pizzas.
Detwiler’s is a family-owned and operated grocery chain that started out as a roadside produce stand in 2002.
