FL-Based Grocery Chain Plans Store In New District Under Construction

TAMPA, FL — Duckweed Urban Grocery, a Tampa-based boutique grocery store, announced an upcoming new location at La Unión Residence & Social Hall in Ybor City’s Gasworx district, according to a news release.

The store will offer residents fresh produce, local goods, high-end and imported products, and grab-and-go meals.

The grocery store will be located next to Gasworx’s upcoming multifamily community, which is under construction and expected to be completed by fall 2026.

“Duckweed represents a key piece of the larger vision for Gasworx, a place where urban living feels effortless and connected,” Graham Tyrrell, managing director in Florida for KETTLER. “This isn’t just a store; it’s a cornerstone for the community, reflecting the vibrant, walkable, and convenient lifestyle we’ve always envisioned for Gasworx.”

Duckweed Urban Grocery is known for its curated selection of fresh produce, pantry staples and quick meals, the news release said. The store reflects Tampa Bay’s cultural heritage and features local flavors, unique finds and artisan goods, along with regional wines, beers and cheeses.

“This is an incredible opportunity for Duckweed to be on the front end of such an exciting and transformative project,” Pavan Pediredla, Duckweed president, said. “The Gasworx district will not only breathe new life into Ybor City but also provide the perfect location for our expanding brand to thrive. We’re thrilled to bring our unique grocery experience to this new location and look forward to serving the growing community.”
