Hillsborough County SRX Licenses

SRX activity in Hillsborough County

New Venue Data currently tracks 512 SRX (Special Restaurant / Food Service License) records in Hillsborough County — about 14% 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 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 Hillsborough County, the SRX feed is a precision filter: instead of every business in Tampa, Brandon, Plant City, Riverview, Lutz, Seffner, 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 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 SRX 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 SRX across Tampa, Brandon, Plant City, Riverview, Lutz, Seffner.
