The Spice and Tea Exchange is coming soon to Sundial St Pete
/The Spice & Tea Exchange has just signed a lease for a location at Sundial St. Pete. They will be moving into the 1,218 SF space previously occupied by the Rowdies & Rays Team Store on the first floor of the shopping center.
“This is one of the last prime spots left in Sundial, we are so happy to have such a great shop in our center” said Bill Edwards, Owner of Sundial.
The Spice & Tea Exchange caters to people who love to cook, eat, and host guests. They are known for offering an extensive selection of exotic teas, spices, exclusive seasonings, salts, and naturally-flavored sugars. Their diverse assortment of goods is guaranteed to kick your senses into high gear as you explore all they have to offer.
Founded in 2008 as a small shop in St. Augustine, the Spice & Tea Exchange was created by individuals with a passion for life and food. Their high-quality products quickly gave them nation-wide recognition.
Husband and wife duo Lisa Coleman and Brian Himert are the owners of the St. Pete location and they couldn’t be more excited for the recent growth of Downtown St. Pete. “We love downtown,” says Coleman. “We are down there all the time eating, going to festivals and indie markets. St. Pete is definitely not a cookie cutter city.”
The Spice & Tea Exchange will also have a tea bar, where customers can order any of the 50+ loose leaf teas hot or iced.
Additionally, the shop will make 80+ spice blends in-house in plain view of the customers at the Blending Theater. “It is our mission to provide a unique spice and tea shopping experience and to generate excitement by immersing our customers in rich and vivid sights and smells,” says Coleman.
This year is slated to be a big one for the downtown shopping center. Work has recently begun on a 25,000 square foot food hall by the same team that brought Armature Works to life in Tampa. Also, the popular St. Pete-based coworking company, Station House, announced plans to move into a 8,300 square foot space on the second level of Sundial.
With so much change on the way, it’ll be interesting to see if Sundial can successfully reinvent itself in a market flush with dining and shopping options.
The Spice and Tea Exchange is hoping to open at Sundial by May 1st. Be sure to follow them on Facebook and Instagram to stay up to date on grand opening plans.
