Alachua County APS Licenses

APS activity in Alachua County

New Venue Data currently tracks 287 APS (Package Store (Off-Premises)) records in Alachua County — about 37% of the 783 liquor and food-service licenses we hold for the county — concentrated in Gainesville, the Gainesville area, and Alachua and Newberry. Each one marks a Package business taking a concrete, documented step toward opening.

A new APS opening is a retail shelf-space and wholesale supply opportunity rather than a hospitality one. The tier tells a distributor precisely which product lines a new retailer can carry, making APS filings ideal leads for wholesalers, merchandisers, shelving and refrigeration vendors, and POS providers targeting off-premises retail.

For sales teams working Alachua County, the APS feed is a precision filter: instead of every business in Gainesville, Alachua, Newberry, High Springs, Hawthorne, Waldo, you see only the package prospects that fit your book. New Venue Data surfaces each APS filing the day it lands at the Florida DBPR — weeks before a Gainesvilleoperator appears on a review site or a competitor's list — so your reps can reach the owner while the buildout budget is still open.

Filter the Alachua APS stream by city and event type — new filings, renewals, and ownership transfers — route Gainesville leads to one rep and the rest of the North territory to another, push everything into your CRM through the API, or get a daily digest of every fresh APS across Gainesville, Alachua, Newberry, High Springs, Hawthorne, Waldo.
