OCALA, FL (352today.com) – We may have to wait a bit for the variety, convenience and savings in store when Ocala’s first BJ’s Wholesale Club opens later this year, and it looks like the retail scene may be slowing a bit due to national and international goings-on, but the 352 still welcomed several new businesses to the region in May 2026.
Here are the businesses that opened in the 352 in May
Graze Craze
This interesting concept–charcuterie to go–reportedly had its grand opening in Gainesville on May 18 after a quiet but buzzy soft-opening phase. Owned by former helicopter pilot Pam Landis, Graze Craze offers custom charcuterie assortments and catering that include elements made in-house. 15652 NW HWY 441, Suite 2B, Gainesville. 386-418-0047
HCA Florida Gainesville Hospital
This new state-of-the-art addition to HCA Florida’s range of care for North Central Florida announced its opening on May 5. The 90-bed, full-service hospital is the first all-new facility of its kind to open in the region in half a century. 4094 SW 41st Blvd., Gainesville.
Raising Cane’s
The southern chicken finger juggernaut continues its Sunshine State takeover with a saucy new second Gainesville location that opened May 27 to fanfare and long lines. You know the deal. 3433 SW Archer Rd., Gainesville.
Remedy Dog Bar
This long-in-the-works social destination finally opened its doors May 16, features a full restaurant as well as 5,000-square-foot outdoor “Boneyard” where “dogs are appreciated and humans are tolerated.” You will need to register your pooch at Remedy’s website and provide up-to-date vaccination documentation, and the spot offers memberships for dog owners who intend to become regulars. 3105 E. Silver Springs Blvd., Ocala. 352-421-5279
