Sweetbay History

A lot has changed since 1914 – the year Salvatore Greco, an Italian immigrant, sold fruits and vegetables in the streets of Tampa. That produce cart became Sweetbay Supermarket, a leading grocer serving customers throughout the West Central Florida. Times change, but our customers still expect the highest-quality produce and meat; good prices and great value.
