Seed and Bean Market to open at The Cove at 47th in Cape
The Seed and Bean Market has announced that its third location will be in Cape Coral at The Cove at 47th, a luxury apartment destination in downtown. Seed & Bean Market was founded in 2018 and is Florida’s first Cannabis Café and CBD marketplace with locations in Fort Myers and Venice. It was also the second cannabis café to open in the United States.
With construction underway, a soft opening is expected later in October with a major grand opening to follow, according to business officials. This 2,800-square-foot location will feature 128 seats indoors and up to 70 more seats for outdoor patio and breezeway bar dining.
The new Cape Coral restaurant will be much larger than the other two locations and will feature sit-down dining, its signature bar and grab & go counter. The Seed and Bean Market will be the only dining destination that will feature breakfast, lunch and dinner at The Cove, and one of the first in the downtown.
The owners of Seed & Bean Market will soon announce a date in October for a Job Fair on location that will hire up to 45 positions including managers, cooks, servers, hostesses, bussers and bartenders.
“With our immediate success and acceptance into Fort Myers and Venice, we knew that our next expansion was into the burgeoning Cape Coral market. Not only is this city one of the fastest growing in the state of Florida, but we have been impressed with its great leadership from its elected officials. We look forward to bringing over 40 new jobs to the area and quickly becoming a staple of the downtown community,” said Cole Peacock, co-founder of Seed and Bean Market and C3 Investments.
Collaborating on this project are KDL Interior Design, Chris-Tel Construction and Zachary Smith with GMA Architects & Planners.
We are thrilled to be partnering with Seed and Bean for a third time on what may be a flagship location for them. Having worked with the C3 team over the years, we have come to understand their passion and professionalism not only for this space, but also for the impact they have on the community. Building upon their brand has been a game changer in their industry and we are honored to help make their vision a reality once again,” said Howard Wheeler, President with Chris-Tel Construction.
Seed and Bean Market’s leadership team’s philosophy is giving back and becoming part of the fabric of the communities it calls home. This includes support and volunteering with organizations like Community Cooperative Soup Kitchen, Venice Walk and Ride, Fort Myers Chamber of Commerce, Children’s Advocacy Center of Southwest Florida, Suncoast Humane Society, and Florida Gulf Coast University.
Peacock is considered a pioneer in the Florida cannabis industry and was appointed vice chair of the inaugural Florida Hemp Advisory Committee by Florida Commissioner of Agriculture and Consumer Services Nikki Fried. Peacock is also co-founder of C3 Investments and its innovative ventures include Seed and Bean Markets (Florida’s First Cannabis Café and CBD Marketplace), Pure Native Premium Hemp/Cannabis Lifestyle Brand, and Caloosahatchee Beverage Company, which created first federally approved Hemp Beer.
“Our family friendly concept takes the stigma out of the cannabis café perception. We have created an atmosphere where everyone feels at home whether they are ordering delicious food, coffee, hemp protein shake, CBD Seltzer, or a craft beer.bSeed and Bean Market is a proven model of success and we are so excited to bring it to Cape Coral,” added Peacock.
