The Latest & Not-So-Great News In Dining, Shopping & Business In New Tampa & Wesley Chapel!
Coronavirus Delays Openings
As if the worldwide Covid-19 pandemic
wasn’t already wreaking havoc with our lives,
what with schools, restaurants, businesses and
beaches closing in Florida (and almost all U.S.
states now on lockdown), here’s a little more
sand being kicked in our faces:
All of the businesses shown on this page are
located in or adjacent to Wesley Chapel and all
are still under construction. Some were expected
to open by the time this issue reached your mailbox,
while others were weeks or months away,
even before the coronavirus hit the U.S.
But now, who knows when any of these
great, highly anticipated businesses will open?
(Moving clockwise from the top left photo)
Wesley Chapel’s Aldi supermarket might even
be open by now if not for the outbreak. Equally
close-looking to opening (even going so far, at
one point, as to start looking for employees to
train) is Main Event Entertainment, located
east of the Tampa Premium Outlets on the
south side of 56. Perhaps not quite as close to being completed, but not too far behind, is Rock & Brews Restaurant
(owned in part by Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley of the rock group KISS), which is located in front of Main Event with
frontage on 56. Meanwhile, directly across 56 from those two is a new plaza that will someday be home to Zukku-San
Sushi Bar & Grill (as well as the Woof Gang Bakery for dogs and the European Wax Center).
North of 56, the Krate Container Park at The Grove (above) and Mainsail Development’s Marriott-branded Residence
Inn both received approval from the Pasco Board of Commissioners to begin construction.
Yes, the Wesley Chapel area has a lot to look forward to. Now, we all just need to stay healthy waiting for it all. — GN
