Wild Fork is coming to Lakeland.
A site plan for a new Wild Fork was filed with the City of Lakeland on Nov. 12.
It's going at 3437 S. Florida Ave., the old Hooters at the corner of South Florida Avenue and Imperial Boulevard.
The plan is to tear down the old Hooters building and put up a new 7,400-square-foot building. Wild Fork would share it with CAVA.
Wild Fork is a meat and seafood market. It sells steaks, chicken, seafood and more, frozen right after they're packed.
Its closest stores right now are in the Tampa and Orlando areas.
In its August concept plan, the developer described this half of the building as a "specialty grocer."
The site plan is now in the city's review process, with reviews scheduled to wrap up by Dec. 11. That comes before any demolition or building permits.
No opening date has been announced.
We found this by monitoring the City of Lakeland's public permit portal.
