Venice Crossing, the 82-acre shopping center in the works on Laurel Road in Venice, has announced its anchoring stores. According to Real Estate Broker & Market Analyst Jeff Twigg, Venice Crossing will welcome, together with a 170,995-square-foot Walmart Supercenter, a Home Depot store featuring 106,651 square feet of space, plus a 28,156-square-foot outdoor garden center.
“Venice Crossing is the first large concentrated retail center on the Laurel Road corridor in Nokomis and North Venice, built on land that sat as green space for decades while housing, healthcare, schools, and interstate access assembled around it,” says the coverage on Twigg’s website. “Two big-box anchors sit at the back of the property with a row of restaurant, fuel, and service buildings along the Laurel Road frontage in front of them. Site infrastructure is in the ground and the first businesses are expected to open in 2027.”
Coverage by Tampa Bay Business & Wealth expands on these details:
“The two anchors would sit about 900 feet from Laurel Road, leaving 12 smaller commercial sites between the stores and passing traffic. The plans identify RaceTrac for one of those sites, while Mavis Tires & Brakes is advancing a 7,095-square-foot service center with eight repair bays. No tenants are identified for the remaining sites.”
With 12 new stores set to open this year—including one in Naples—The Home Depot continues to plot a growth-filled future, with plans for stores in Inverness and in Davenport.
“When The Home Depot was founded in 1978, Bernie Marcus and Arthur Blank had no idea how revolutionary this new ‘hardware store’ would be for home improvement and the retail industry,” says The Home Depot’s website. “Today, we’re proud to be the world’s largest home improvement retailer. In more than 2,300 stores across North America, we aspire to excel in service – to our customers, associates, communities and shareholders. That’s what leadership means to us. That’s The Home Depot difference.”
