Help Us Become a Brick & Mortar
Peppa&Thyme began as a vision rooted in culture, care, and community. What started as a mobile kitchen has grown into something much bigger — and with your support, the next chapter is a permanent home.
Why a Brick & Mortar Matters
A brick-and-mortar location allows us to deepen what we already do best:
serve intentional food, honor Jamaican culinary traditions, and create a space where people feel welcome, nourished, and connected.
A permanent location means:
Consistency and accessibility for our community
Expanded menus and seasonal offerings
A gathering space that reflects our values and culture
Long-term sustainability for Peppa&Thyme
This isn’t just about walls and a roof — it’s about building something lasting.
Where We’re Planning to Grow
We are currently planning to open our first brick-and-mortar locations in either:
Wesley Chapel or San Antonio, Florida
These areas stand out due to:
Availability of new construction and flexible leasing options
Growing communities with strong local support
Space to design a kitchen and dining experience that aligns with our vision
At the same time, we know firsthand how deeply the Tampa community loves and supports our food. Tampa has been instrumental in our journey, and a brick-and-mortar allows us to serve that demand more consistently and intentionally.
What a Physical Location Brings to the Community
Opening a brick-and-mortar Peppa&Thyme creates real, tangible benefits:
Local jobs and economic growth
A cultural food destination rooted in Jamaican heritage
A consistent gathering place for families, professionals, and creatives
Educational opportunities around ingredients, farming, and food culture
A space for events, pop-ups, and community collaborations
This location becomes more than a restaurant — it becomes a community anchor.
How Your Support Helps
Every contribution moves Peppa & Thyme one step closer to becoming a permanent part of the community. Your support allows us to move thoughtfully and responsibly as we transition from a mobile kitchen into a brick-and-mortar space.
Funds raised through this effort will be used to support:
Securing and preparing a physical location
Build-out and kitchen infrastructure
Equipment, permits, and operational readiness
Creating a welcoming dining environment rooted in culture and care
We are approaching this growth intentionally—prioritizing long-term sustainability, quality, and alignment with our values. Your support gives us the flexibility to choose the right space, design it with purpose, and open our doors in a way that honors both the food and the people we serve.
This isn’t about rushing—it’s about building something that lasts.
Building This Together
Peppa&Thyme has always been a shared journey. From pop-ups and food trailer stops to community events and conversations at the window, this brand has grown because of the people who show up, support, and believe in what we’re creating.
A brick-and-mortar location represents more than expansion—it represents belonging.
It becomes:
A place where regulars can gather
A space where culture is visible, celebrated, and respected
A kitchen that can grow menus, ideas, and opportunities
A hub for collaboration, education, and connection
By supporting this next step, you’re not just helping us open a restaurant—you’re helping establish a space where food, culture, and community can continue to grow together.
We’re deeply grateful to everyone who has supported Peppa & Thyme so far, and to those helping shape what comes next. This is a shared vision, and every contribution—large or small—plays a role in making it real.
