We are pleased to announce that we will open a 7th location in the Sarasota/Manatee County area. We will renovate a former Winn-Dixie in the Braden River Plaza, transforming it into a 43,000-square-foot store located at 4502 E State Rd 64, Bradenton, FL.
The new store will feature our signature departments — farm-fresh produce, high-quality meats and seafood, an old-fashioned deli, scratch-made bakery, grocery, and wellness — while also introducing new offerings unique to this location.
“As a family, we are excited to continue growing,” said Henry Detwiler Sr. “We’re so thankful for our loyal customers who make this growth possible and for the opportunity to serve even more people in our community.”
“We’re thrilled to expand again in the Bradenton area,” added Sam Detwiler. “Our stores are busier than ever, and this new location will help us make room for more customers and serve everyone better. We can’t wait to bring the full Detwiler’s experience to this part of town. Our commitment to offering the best products at the best prices and creating a fun, friendly shopping experience will never change.”
We’re partnering with Benderson Development on yet another property. Braden River Plaza is located along Manatee Avenue (SR 64), the busy east–west corridor linking I-75 to downtown Bradenton and the beaches. The center features a mix of specialty stores and popular restaurants that serve the area’s growing population. The addition of Detwiler’s brings a strong grocery anchor to Braden River Plaza, enhancing the center’s ability to meet the everyday shopping needs of the community.
Our plan is to open this location in the fall of 2026. Stay tuned for more updates.
