Detwiler’s Farm Market will open its seventh location following the renovation of a former Winn-Dixie store in the Braden River Plaza at 4502 E State Road 64 in Bradenton, Florida. 

The 43,000-square-foot store will feature Detwiler’s signature departments such as farm-fresh produce, high quality meats and seafood, an old-fashioned deli and scratch-made bakery while also introducing new offerings unique to this location. 

“As a family, we are excited to continue growing,” said Henry Detwiler Sr., founder of Detwiler’s Farm Market. “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.” 

Owned and managed by Benderson Development, Braden River Plaza features a mix of specialty stores and restaurants that serve the area’s growing population. The addition of Detwiler’s brings a grocery anchor to Braden River Plaza, enhancing the center’s ability to meet the everyday shopping needs of the community. 

Founded in 2002 as a small roadside produce stand, Detwiler’s Farm Market has grown into six stores across Sarasota and Manatee counties, building a following for its combination of freshness, value and hometown hospitality. 

“We’re thrilled to expand again in the Bradenton area,” added Sam Detwiler, president of Detwiler’s Farm Market.

“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.”
