Sue and Rocket Atamanchuk, Manasota Key owners of the Lock ‘N Key remodel and the booming SandBar Tiki & Grille, just spread their dominion over even more of the key’s three skinny square miles.
More than two years ago, they purchased the long-shuttered Manasota Key Coffee House, a half-mile up North Beach Road from SandBar.
The Gulf-facing compound, on a full acre backing up to Lemon Bay, would, they said, be renamed Magnolias Market on the Bay.
They planned a small gourmet market along with a light breakfast plus deli items for takeout and delivery.
The Atamanchuks originally planned to open their market two years ago. We all know what happened next.
