Fresh Kitchen to open location near USF

| Jo-Lynn Brown

Fresh Kitchen will celebrate the grand opening of its 16th location, near the University of South Florida.

The new location, at 11802 Bruce B Downs Blvd., in Tampa, opens Nov. 5. The first 50 customers to purchase a bowl will have the chance to spin a prize wheel to win desserts, catering, Fresh Kitchen swag and more. Those who present an “I Voted,” sticker in honor of Election Day, will receive 10% off their purchase. Additionally, the USF cheer squad will be on hand from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. to greet guests.

Leading up to the grand opening, Fresh Kitchen will host “Friends & Family” events, on Nov. 3 and Nov. 4, with free bowls and live music. Donations during these events will support Feed-A-Bull Pantry, which provides food and nutrition resources to USF students facing food insecurity.

Fresh Kitchen, founded in Tampa in 2014, is known for its fast-casual, healthy dining experience. The menu features a variety of gluten-free bowls made with fresh ingredients like hormone- and antibiotic-free meats, roasted vegetables and house-made sauces.
