Prepare for the same feeling, as The Hub at Lexington — which is being developed by the identical group that constructed The Hub at Bexley off S.R. 54 in Land O’Lakes — is bringing one thing “far past” the standard strip retail plaza, in line with Courtney Bissett-Hayes of Middle Join Improvement.
“We presently have 13 tenants confirmed for The Hub at Lexington,” Bissett-Hayes says, “and now we have simply a few areas nonetheless obtainable.”
9 of the confirmed tenants are eating places and/or beverage suppliers, together with one golf simulation enterprise referred to as The Clubhouse, a barber store referred to as Headlines, the Lexington Nail Lab and Suncoast Charging, an Electrical Car charging “expertise.”

Hub the place you possibly can “Sip, Savor & Socialize” on the southwest nook of Wesley Chapel Blvd. and Lexington Oaks Blvd., in entrance of the Sentosa residences.
The brother-&-sister companions of Middle Join Improvement — Paul Bissett and Courtney Bissett-Hayes — count on the primary of the 13 introduced tenants to start opening someday early subsequent 12 months, because the six buildings are actually being turned over to these tenants for build-out. These tenants embrace 9 native and regional eating places in six buildings and The Clubhouse golf simulation expertise and extra.
“We don’t wish to announce who’s coming to our developments till the tenants are all finalized,” says Bissett-Hayes. “We don’t like having untimely bulletins or misinformation getting on the market till the tenants are dedicated and we wish to preserve it contemporary within the minds of these within the space since they need to be opening inside the subsequent a number of months.”
And, just like the super-successful Hub at Bexley, Bissett-Hayes says, “There will probably be dwell music Friday and Saturday nights, pop-up markets twice a month and seasonal vacation occasions that may start when tenants open for enterprise.”
The Hub at Bexley is anchored by the favored BellaBrava Italian restaurant and can quickly add BellaBrava’s sister restaurant, Stillwaters Tavern, on an outparcel of that Hub.
However, regardless of rumors that both BellaBrava or Stillwaters was coming to The Hub at Lexington, neither one is a part of our space’s equally thrilling new lineup of meals & beverage suppliers — a few that are acquainted names to followers of the KRATE at The Grove container park.
The primary of these is La Creacion Bistro, which is a sister restaurant to La Creacion Categorical within the KRATEs, however Bissett-Hayes says the brand new restaurant will probably be serving breakfast, lunch and dinner with a very completely different menu than what they serve on the KRATEs..
The opposite regionally acquainted identify is the Brew Bar Self Pour, which can share an area with City Crunch Creamery Café.
The Brew Bar/City Crunch combo will supply self-pour beer and wine, just like what the Brew Bar affords on the KRATEs, plus ice cream, açai, espresso and maybe most necessary of all, frozen drinks like daiquiris. “It was crucial for us to hit this class and City Crunch was chosen over two others on this class.”
City Crunch has a sister location in close by Odessa that additionally serves breakfast and brunch objects, however the City Crunch at The Hub won’t be serving these objects.
One other thrilling choice, with a sister location within the River Hills Plaza in Valrico, is The Touchdown Bar & Grill, which is the place you’ll wish to watch all of your favourite sports activities. The Touchdown in Valrico has an enormous menu, with distinctive appetizer choices like Aztec chowder (white bean rooster chili), conventional pierogies, Cajun fish bites and even pizza fries (a big order of fries topped with mozzarella and pepperoni, served with marinara.
Sandwiches embrace a meatball hoagie, Philly cheesesteak and even a California rooster sandwich. Or, pattern entrées like grilled, fried or blackened grouper, salmon or jumbo shrimp dinners, a low-carb grilled rooster dinner with broccoli, plus nice salads, wings, pizzas, flatbreads, pastas and rather more.
Once more, we haven’t seen The Touchdown’s Hub menu but, however you recognize we’ll preserve you posted!
Additionally coming to The Hub at Lexington is The Monk’s Indian Fusion Delicacies, which has a dozen areas in Indiana, Colorado and 9 in Texas. This “Desi-Chinese language” eatery combines the completely different flavors of India and China in a single location, with an enormous number of samosas, dosas, naan breads and Indian entrées like paneer or rooster tikka masala, butter rooster, a wide range of biryanis and vindaloo choices and rather more.
Among the many Chinese language entrées are Sichuan, chilli garlic and Manchurian sauces with gobi (cauliflower), paneer, rooster or shrimp. The opposite Monk’s areas even have my favourite Indo-Chinese language dish — wok-tossed hakka noodles and fried rice together with your selection of meat or veggies.
Talking of Asian delicacies, The Hub at Lexington’s lineup additionally will embrace Saigon Pho Wesley Chapel, which has a location referred to as Banh Mi & Boba at The Hub at Bexley. Like Banh Mi, Saigon Pho will function Vietnamese fare that includes pho noodle soups, grilled plates and banh mi sandwiches.
Nonetheless one other attention-grabbing choice is Farmer’s Milk, which is a café and bakery with a sister location in Hollywood, FL, that sells the whole lot from complete muffins, French croissants and Russian sourdough rye breads referred to as borodinsky, plus breakfast objects, together with syrniki, that are small, pan-fried pancakes constituted of gentle tvorog (aka “Farmer’s”) cheese which can be candy sufficient to get pleasure from as a dessert. There are also eggs Benedict and different choices. Farmer’s Milk’s web site says its menu is “full of healthful dishes emphasizing wholesome consuming and high-quality merchandise.”
However wait, there’s nonetheless extra! You cinnamon roll followers will flip for Cinnaholic Gourmand Cinnamon Rolls, which began in California and immediately has greater than 100 areas throughout the U.S. and Canada, together with one on S. Howard Ave. in South Tampa. The 100% plant-based rolls, plus brownies, cookies and extra, are “all made with the very best high quality elements” and you’ll custom-design your personal rolls with the whole lot from “Outdated Skool” vanilla frosting to caramel apple pie frosting and one I should strive — the “Shake, Rattle & Roll,” with peanut butter frosting, pretzels, banana slices and do-it-yourself peanut butter cups. Are you kidding me?
The ultimate restaurant on the checklist is Island Grill, which is billed as a Caribbean fusion restaurant, however we don’t have any more information or a brand to indicate you but. “They’re nonetheless finalizing their menu,” Bissett-Hayes says. “However, it will likely be very genuine as a result of the principal is from the islands.” The hope right here is that there’ll a lot of contemporary fish and seafood on that menu.
After which there’s the “golf simulation expertise” often called The Clubhouse. Though there are a number of such companies throughout the nation by the identical identify — a few of that are additionally eating places and/or sports activities bars — Bissett-Hayes says this incarnation of The Clubhouse is a start-up leisure venue unrelated to any others I discovered on-line and won’t serve its personal meals or drinks.
“It should have six golf simulators and a placing inexperienced,” she says. “Prospects will be capable to order foods and drinks from our eating places to be delivered or introduced in whereas at The Clubhouse.”
The Clubhouse may have some PGA educating professionals who will probably be providing classes. To date, it has commitments from native professionals at programs like Lake Jovita and Hunter’s Inexperienced Nation Golf equipment.
Bissett-Hayes says that The Clubhouse additionally will probably be sampling some small merchandise objects like balls, gloves and a few branded clothes objects like golf polos. These are primarily only for enjoyable and if somebody wants some balls (though all the bays will include balls). One other doable service can be membership fittings with no matter membership associate they find yourself utilizing. However, she says, “that in all probability solely be a couple of times a 12 months and can be extra of a partnership with the membership maker and the orders would go on to them.”
The ultimate three tenants already signed as much as be part of The Hub at Lexington are the Lexington Nail Lab and Headlines Barber Store, each of which have associated areas at The Hub At Bexley, and Suncoast Charging. Headlines additionally has close by areas on County Line Rd. in New Tampa and in The Pointe at Tampa Palms.
