3 New Restaurants Planned for Growing Manatee County Shopping Center

Three new restaurants are planned for the rapidly expanding Marketplace at Heritage Harbour shopping center in Manatee County, according to developers of the project.

The shopping center, located near Interstate 75 and State Road 64 East in Bradenton, has continued to attract new retail and dining tenants as growth accelerates throughout eastern Manatee County.

The latest additions to the development include Fresh Kitchen, U-Yee Sushi & Grill and Pure Green Juice Bar. The restaurants were recently added to an updated leasing plan released by developer Edgewood Properties.

Fresh Kitchen, a Florida-based fast-casual restaurant chain known for customizable bowls and health-focused menu options, is planned for a new five-unit building north of LongHorn Steakhouse. The company currently operates multiple locations across Florida, including one near University Town Center.

U-Yee Sushi & Grill is also planned for the same building. The restaurant first opened in the Lakewood Ranch area in 2020 and serves sushi, sashimi and hibachi-style dishes. The new Heritage Harbour location would mark the company’s second restaurant in the region.

Meanwhile, Pure Green Juice Bar is slated for a separate building near the future Whole Foods location planned within the shopping center. The brand specializes in smoothies, acai bowls, cold-pressed juices and other health-focused menu items.

Marketplace at Heritage Harbour has become one of the fastest-growing retail destinations in Manatee County since Costco opened at the development in 2019. Additional tenants already operating at the center include Target, Hobby Lobby, CAVA, LongHorn Steakhouse, Academy Sports + Outdoors, Miller’s Ale House and Panda Express.

Several additional businesses are also planned for the development, including Whole Foods, Chick-fil-A, Qdoba Mexican Eats, Cold Stone Creamery, Lucky Goat Coffee Co. and Mister O1 Extraordinary Pizza.

The continued expansion reflects broader population and commercial growth trends across Manatee County, particularly in areas surrounding Interstate 75 and State Road 64 where residential development has surged in recent years.

With new restaurants, retail and mixed-use projects continuing to move forward, Heritage Harbour is quickly evolving into one of the region’s largest suburban commercial hubs.
