The Tampa-based appliance and mattress store Famous Tate is looking to build its 10th location in central Pasco County, within arm’s reach of Walmart along U.S. 41.
Executives of the small retail chain are scheduled to meet with county officials Dec. 16 to discuss opening a 14,000-square-foot store on Land O’ Lakes Boulevard, in an outparcel just south of Walmart, not far from where Dale Mabry Highway begins. The 1.6-acre parcel is owned by Hagman Properties Inc. of Tarpon Springs, the land’s only deed-holder, according to Pasco County property records.
This would be Pasco’s third Famous Tate store. The closest current one is at 5419 Village Market in Wesley Chapel, and a second is located in Port Richey.
The company was founded in 1954, and employs more than 200 people in six counties, according to the company’s website. Aspire Engineering Inc. of Tampa will take the lead on the project.
Meeting with county officials is typically an early step in the development process, and no timetable on when construction might begin was released.
