Farm-to-Table Favorite Naked Farmer Expands: Two New St. Petersburg Locations Coming in 2026
By Zach Ellis | Extended Reach Florida
Fresh food lovers in St. Petersburg have reason to celebrate — Naked Farmer, the homegrown fast-casual favorite known for its farm-to-table approach, is planting deeper roots in the Sunshine City. The company has announced plans for two new locations set to open in 2026, marking a major step in its continued Florida growth.
Why It Matters
What started as a small local venture has grown into a movement. Naked Farmer built its reputation on locally sourced ingredients and a menu that’s both wholesome and crave-worthy. Every bowl, salad, and side celebrates the best of Florida’s seasonal produce — and with this latest expansion, the brand is showing it’s not just a St. Pete success story anymore, but a regional force in the making.
What’s Next for the Expansion
The first of the two new restaurants will take over the former site of another healthy dining chain at 2631 4th Street North, with doors expected to open by summer 2026.
Meanwhile, the original Naked Farmer flagship — the location that started it all — will undergo a full-scale renovation. The upgrade includes expanded kitchen capacity, refreshed interiors, and an updated design aimed at keeping the brand’s signature experience fresh for years to come.
Naked Farmer already operates several Florida locations and continues to look beyond the Tampa Bay area for new opportunities. Even as it grows, the brand remains proudly rooted in its St. Petersburg origins — where community, sustainability, and good food intersect.
What It Means for St. Pete Residents and Investors
- For diners: Expect easier access to Naked Farmer’s signature bowls, market-fresh salads, and sustainable proteins.
- For the neighborhood: More local jobs, higher foot traffic, and another boost to St. Pete’s ever-evolving culinary scene.
- For investors and developers: A clear signal that healthy, fast-casual dining concepts are thriving — and that authentic, community-driven brands like Naked Farmer can anchor high-value real estate opportunities.
Naked Farmer’s latest chapter is proof that the farm-to-table movement isn’t just growing — it’s flourishing. With two new locations on the horizon and a refreshed flagship, St. Petersburg’s own homegrown brand is leading the charge toward a fresher, more sustainable future for Florida dining.
