About
SouthShore Hub lists 5045 businesses working in Apollo Beach, Gibsonton, Riverview, Ruskin, Sun City Center and Wimauma.
Who runs it
Pillar Foundry, the trading name of KKAL Enterprises LLC, based in Hillsborough County, Florida. One person, locally. Not a chamber of commerce, not affiliated with one, and not a national site with a page for every town in America.
Why it is called a hub
Because a list is not the point. The point is what sits either side of it. Every listing here is built by reading everything public about a business — their own website, the state license register, the mapping data, the places people leave reviews — and where those sources contradict each other, the listing shows you the contradiction rather than quietly choosing one.
Then we ring them, and what they tell us replaces what we found. That conversation is where the things you cannot look up live: how far they will actually drive, and what they would rather you did not call them about. A listing says plainly whether it has happened yet.
And then you can ask this site a question in your own words and get an answer built out of those records, not out of whoever paid the most.
Why it exists
Because nobody had made one. The chamber's directory is members-only and has no town-by-town view. Everything else covers all of Tampa and none of here specifically.
How it makes money
Right now it does not. Listings are free and there is nothing to buy. Pillar Foundry builds websites and phone systems for local businesses, and this directory is how we meet them. That is the whole arrangement, stated plainly so nobody has to guess.
Listings are never ranked, rated, or reordered by payment. Sponsored slots are labeled as such and sit outside the listings — buying one moves nobody.
Where the data comes from
Listings began as a pull from Overture Maps Foundation, Places theme, release 2026-08-19.0 on 2026-09-12. Each one is then checked against the business's own website, public registers, and other public sources, and corrected where those are clearer. Where we have spoken to the business, their words take precedence over all of it and the listing says so. Data from Foursquare. Copyright 2024 Foursquare Labs, Inc. All rights reserved.
