Pinellas County APS Licenses

APS activity in Pinellas County

New Venue Data currently tracks 931 APS (Package Store (Off-Premises)) records in Pinellas County — about 27% of the 3,461 liquor and food-service licenses we hold for the county — concentrated in St. Petersburg, the Clearwater area, and Clearwater and Largo. 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 Pinellas County, the APS feed is a precision filter: instead of every business in St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Largo, Dunedin, Pinellas Park, Palm Harbor, 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 St. Petersburgoperator 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 Pinellas APS stream by city and event type — new filings, renewals, and ownership transfers — route St. Petersburg 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 St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Largo, Dunedin, Pinellas Park, Palm Harbor.
