RD3 International Market is opening a new location on Palmetto Park Road in Boca Raton, according to the operator's Instagram, adding a live-seafood counter and Asian specialty grocery to a commercial corridor that has few direct competitors in that format.
The market's anchor offering is a live seafood program that lets shoppers hand-pick live lobster, king crab, and other species from on-site tanks before having the selection cooked to order by an in-house chef. The model sits between a traditional fish counter and a made-to-order kitchen — a format that has driven consistent foot traffic to comparable Asian market concepts across South Florida, where demand for live product has outpaced retail supply.
The Boca Raton store will also carry imported groceries, hard-to-find Asian products, fresh produce, and a weekly rotating selection of international imports. The operator's Instagram additionally cites specialty snacks and a line of ice cream that has circulated widely on social platforms as part of the assortment — items that have become reliable traffic drivers for the format in other markets.
The source is an Instagram post from the operator. No opening date, square footage, prior tenant at the Palmetto Park Road address, or signed lease was confirmed as of publication. The operator did not specify how many existing locations RD3 currently operates.
Palmetto Park Road runs through Boca Raton's downtown core and carries a mix of sit-down dining, specialty retail, and service tenants. A live-seafood and international grocery concept would mark a format shift for the block. Whether the address falls east or west of Federal Highway — a meaningful distinction on that corridor — was not specified in the post.
RD3 has not announced a projected opening window through its public channels. The Boca Raton market is one to watch as the operator formalizes its timeline and the address becomes clearer.
