The St. Petersburg Greenhouse Launches First-Ever St. Pete Brick Pitch, Powered by Regions Bank
ST. PETERSBURG, FL \u2014 On March 5, 2026, the St. Petersburg Greenhouse will debut its first-ever St. Pete Brick Pitch, a special edition of St. Pete Pitch Night designed to help local entrepreneurs open or expand brick-and-mortar businesses in St. Petersburg.
The event, powered by Regions Bank, will feature six selected finalists pitching their plans for physical storefronts, pop-ups, or second locations in a live competition for cash prizes and business-building support.
Each finalist will deliver a six-minute pitch followed by a six-minute Q&A with a panel of local expert judges, along with the opportunity to connect with local business leaders, potential partners, and community supporters in the room.
Eligible applicants must be planning to open a new storefront or expand into a second location within St. Petersburg city limits. Finalists will receive support from The Greenhouse\u2019s business navigators, pitch coaching, and guidance.
Applications close Friday, February 13th.

Local businesses can also get involved by sponsoring goods or services for the winning businesses. That might look like construction help, furniture, shelving, design work, legal or marketing services, printing, coaching, or anything else that helps a brick-and-mortar business get its doors open. Sponsors will be recognized before, during, and after the event.<\/p>\n
