Hillsborough County APS Licenses

APS activity in Hillsborough County

New Venue Data currently tracks 1,235 APS (Package Store (Off-Premises)) records in Hillsborough County — about 35% of the 3,547 liquor and food-service licenses we hold for the county — concentrated in Tampa, the Tampa area, and Brandon and Plant City. 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 Hillsborough County, the APS feed is a precision filter: instead of every business in Tampa, Brandon, Plant City, Riverview, Lutz, Seffner, 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 Tampaoperator 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 Hillsborough APS stream by city and event type — new filings, renewals, and ownership transfers — route Tampa leads to one rep and the rest of the Tampa Bay territory to another, push everything into your CRM through the API, or get a daily digest of every fresh APS across Tampa, Brandon, Plant City, Riverview, Lutz, Seffner.
