A deli is taking shape at the convenience store on Highway 60 in Lake Wales
Where it is. In Lake Wales.
The convenience store at 1700 W Highway 60 is being remodeled to add a deli.
At 1700 W Highway 60 in Lake Wales, the store known in county records as the 1700 Convenience Store is being converted to add a deli. A commercial renovation permit, filed in October 2026, describes a change of use from mercantile to business and lists work including a new three-compartment sink, hand-wash sink and backsplash, replaced windows, and tile added to the front wall that was previously stucco.
The same property has seen related activity: a 2025 temporary permit for beer and wine package sales, and October 2026 temporary-use filings tied to a food trailer, Pica Pollo Boricua y Mas. A request for feather-flag signs advertising Puerto Rican food along Highway 60 was denied.
The renovation permit is in the inspections phase, which means the buildout work is underway. No opening date is in the records.
