Beach Drive attracts two new retailers

 
Published June 25, 2015

ST. PETERSBURG — Landing Company at 282 Beach Drive NE is an addition to the retail strand. It's an expansion of the Landing Company's original store at John's Pass Village in Madeira Beach.

The store answers what many say is missing on Beach Drive: affordable, interesting retail. It's filled with jewelry from brass wire bracelets with faux gemstones for $15 to sterling silver necklaces for $150 or more. In between there's leather, copper and silverplated pieces in a wide array of designs including sand dollars, crabs, fish and geometric shapes.

Vom Fass, a German retail company that sells olive oil, vinegar and wine in 300 shops around the world, is opening a store in the Parkshore Plaza at 300 Beach Drive by late summer.

The English translation of Vom Fass is "from the cask," which refers to those wooden barrels wine and ale have been stored in for centuries. The Vom Fass stores are filled with cask pyramids, glass balloons and vinegar and oil crocks housing the specialties.
