Seminole Heights’ Jug & Bottle is for sale

After nearly a decade in the neighborhood, Jug & Bottle is looking for a new owner.

A Loopnet listing doesn’t include an address, but describes an opportunity “in a popular Tampa neighborhood.” Interested parties are also required to complete a non-disclosure agreement before any specifics are released. The description, however, is a dead giveaway.

The listing depicts a nine-year-old specialty beer and wine store with a beer and wine consumption license, which sits on a corner lot. There’s ample indoor and outdoor seating, too. It touts the local and national exposure the business has received.

“The separate vegan food concept that has been operating out of the establishment complements the store with added sales. Bring your own food concept and the entire premises sales will be yours!,” business broker Main Street & Main adds.

"We love it, but the lease is up at the end of the year. That'll be 10 years, and it's just time for us to move on," co-founder Veronica Danko told Creative Loafing Tampa Bay, adding that it was a painstaking decision to sell. "It's a great shop. I feel like somebody local would want to take it over and put their heart into it."

The asking price for the business at 6203 N Florida Ave. is $375,000, and the lease would have to be negotiated with the landlord, which is Frank Kane's TPA Affordable Real Estate, according to property records.

Jug & Bottle opened in 2015 to much fanfare and has been a staple of Old Seminole Heights since, bringing the neighborhood not just great beer, wine and snacks, but also friendly service, underground cinema and the neighborhood's famous Krampus holiday event .

The beloved 3 Dot Dash vegan kitchen also calls Jug & Bottle home, but it's still unclear what owners of the 3 Dot Dash have planned in the event of the sale. We'll update this post as soon as we hear back.
