We asked Plant City: What new businesses would bring people to downtown Plant City?

More places to take the kids! Indoor putt putt. Bowling. Arcade.

 Rachel Mcknight

Get rid of Walmart, replace it with a Target

 Shiva Iyer

Blue’s/jazz establishment

 Tammie Hemby

Detwiler’s grocery store

 Bonny Rhoades

The ones who stay open extended hours and 7 days a week

 Billy BigRig

Not warehouses, apartments, or freaking anymore subdivisions!!!! That’s only making locals want to leave

 Carolyn Thomas

More local restaurants, tap rooms, family friendly establishments like a restaurant/bar with a kid play area or dog area

 Katelyn Samaha

Bring back cicis pizza

 Mimii Booker

Sprouts/Trader Joe’s/ farmers market type store

 Kara Gildersleeve-Hoyt

They need to go to downtown Lakeland and look what it has going on that city is thriving but plant city makes it to hard for new small businesses but easy for warehouses and housing developments!

 Mike Massey

Target, trader joe’s, lululemon, breakfast restaurants that serve mimosas, cool dinner places by water!

 Tiffany Black

A Korean restaurant and/or a Thai restaurant would be nice
