Alachua County SRX Licenses

SRX activity in Alachua County

New Venue Data currently tracks 123 SRX (Special Restaurant / Food Service License) records in Alachua County — about 16% 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 Liquor business taking a concrete, documented step toward opening.

An SRX/SFS filing is one of the highest-intent signals in the dataset: a real, food-first restaurant with a full bar is being built. The 51%-food and 120-seat thresholds (lowered by SB 1262 in 2023, making SFS more accessible than SRX was) mean these are substantial, capital-intensive venues — prime net-new accounts for spirits, wine, and beer distributors, POS and reservation platforms, FF&E suppliers, and commercial insurance, all selected during the buildout window before opening day.

For sales teams working Alachua County, the SRX feed is a precision filter: instead of every business in Gainesville, Alachua, Newberry, High Springs, Hawthorne, Waldo, you see only the liquor prospects that fit your book. New Venue Data surfaces each SRX 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 SRX 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 SRX across Gainesville, Alachua, Newberry, High Springs, Hawthorne, Waldo.
