The next edition of the Sanford Visitors Guide is here, and as always, we’re making updates to reflect the exciting changes happening throughout our community.
Historic Downtown Sanford and the surrounding area continue to grow, welcoming new eateries, shops, and event venues while also saying goodbye to a few longtime favorites. We believe the Visitors Guide should always be the most accurate resource for both visitors and locals, so each edition is carefully updated to showcase what’s happening right now.
Welcoming New Businesses
We’re excited to welcome several new businesses to the guide and community:
- El Tomatillo Taqueria (@eltomatillotacos) has opened on First Street, bringing authentic Mexican flavors to downtown.
- Pretty Little Things (@prettylittlethingsofsanford) has opened on Sanford Avenue next to Diversion, offering a fun new shopping destination.
- House of Cam (@houseofcam.sanford) has officially opened inside Diversion, adding another unique concept to Sanford’s growing retail scene.
- Pierogi Bros(@pierogibros) has joined Sanford’s growing food scene, serving authentic Polish favorites and adding another unique dining experience for residents and visitors to enjoy.
- Lechonera La Marina(@lechoneraelbarriorestaurant) has opened on Marina Island, serving authentic Puerto Rican cuisine and bringing another delicious local dining option to the Sanford area.
- After relocating from Sanford Avenue to French Avenue, the team behind District 7 has reintroduced their new bar concept as Russell’s Saloon (@russells.saloon). We wish them tremendous success in their new location and new chapter.
Saying Thank You
As our community evolves, we also want to recognize the businesses that have recently closed.
Thank you to Shantell’s Soul Food, Fuel BBQ, Brix & Mortar Urban Winery, Pedal Driven Co. and Board & Brush for being part of Sanford’s story. These local businesses helped make our community special, and we sincerely appreciate everything they contributed. We wish their owners and teams the very best in whatever comes next.
