Live Poll

Do you prefer buying specialty baked goods at a dedicated gourmet market versus a general bakery?

Wright’s Gourmet House has officially opened a new bakery and gourmet shop in Tampa’s Hyde Park neighborhood. This market specializes in cakes, pastries, breads, and seasonal items, while excluding the sandwich service offered at the original location.

Why it matters

The company established this new location to better align with the modern ways customers shop and celebrate. By separating the bakery and gourmet retail business from their traditional sandwich service, they aim to streamline the experience for guests.

The new market is located at 420 W. Kennedy Blvd, operating Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Weekend hours are 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., while the flagship site continues operations at 1200 S. Dale Mabry Hwy.

The players

Wright's Gourmet House

A long-standing Tampa business that has served the community for 63 years.

The details

The new space functions as a dedicated hub for wedding cake consultations, tastings, and specialty grocery goods. Customers looking to purchase sandwiches must continue to visit the original South Tampa establishment.

Wright's Market opened to the public on October 20, 2026.

Market Landscape

This move highlights a broader industry shift where legacy brands are diversifying their physical footprint to capture specialized retail segments. It positions the company to compete more effectively in the high-traffic Hyde Park area by focusing on boutique bakery goods.

Hyde Park residents can now access the brand's bakery and gourmet inventory without traveling to South Tampa. However, shoppers planning to buy sandwiches must still visit the original location to access that portion of the menu.

The takeaway

Customers visiting the new Hyde Park shop can expect a focus on event-specific goods like wedding cake consultations and seasonal pantry items. This change effectively splits the company's service model to serve retail shoppers and meal-seekers in separate locations.
