Someone wants to open a Caribbean store and market in a building at 3547 Recker Highway, but the county denied the renovation permit.
The records describe plans to open a Caribbean store and market at 3547 Recker Highway in Winter Haven, with a remodel of the inside of the existing building. The applicant held a pre-application conference with Polk County in April 2025, which closed as complete.
A commercial renovation permit was filed in May 2025 for the tenant buildout and remodel. That permit was later closed as denied, so the work has not been cleared to go forward as filed. What happens next for the market is not yet public.
