Ideal Nutrition, a South Florida-based provider of fresh, pre-prepared meals, is set to open a new retail location in downtown St. Pete.
The 1,770-square-foot store is currently under construction and expected to open by the end of the year at 360 2nd Avenue South, on the ground floor of the 23-story, 220-unit Evo apartment building.
The expansion marks the company's entry into the Tampa Bay market, offering a selection of heat-and-eat meals designed to accommodate various dietary preferences.
The St. Pete location will offer over 40 meals, ranging from traditional plates to paleo, keto, vegetarian, vegan, and others priced at $8.49.
Some of the top sellers include Firecracker Meatballs with white rice and green beans, Cajun Chicken Alfredo with smoked gouda ravioli, Vegetarian Asiago Stuffed Gnocchi with mushrooms and pesto cream sauce, and a Crispy Chicken Caesar Wrap.

Ideal Nutrition currently operates eight locations across Florida, including in West Palm Beach, Miami, Boca Raton, Palm Beach Gardens, Wellington, Stuart, and Gainesville.
“We are excited to bring Ideal Nutrition to St. Petersburg,” said Wolfgang Brunet, founder and chief executive officer of Ideal Nutrition. “The city has a strong health-conscious community, and we aim to provide a fast and affordable way to access nutritious meals.”
Stephanie Addis of Colliers, who represented Ideal Nutrition in the lease agreement, stated, “We anticipate strong success for Ideal Nutrition as it enters the Tampa Bay market and expands into additional locations in the future.”
The St. Petersburg store is projected to open in the fourth quarter of 2025. The grand opening will feature promotions, giveaways, and events for the local community.
