The site of a former Sweetbay grocery store in New Tampa is going to turn into the popular Lotte Plaza Market Asian Grocery Store. Lotte has confirmed they will be opening a location off Bruce B. Downs, though an official opening timeline is still TBA.
Lotte Plaza currently operates in Orlando, and this will be its first ever Tampa location. “Since 1976, Lotte Plaza Market has strived to be the premier source for Asian groceries in Maryland and Virginia,” writes the ownership team in its company mission statement. “Our desire to continuously improve customer relations and contribute to the community we serve has helped us grow from a single store in 1989 to 12 locations throughout Maryland, Virginia, and Florida.” Their goal is to open 50 Lotte Plaza Market locations by 2030.
