The Miami Marlins have signed up three food vendors to fill shops at the new ballpark’s West Plaza, the broad area facing Southwest 17th Avenue that will be covered when the stadium’s roof is retracted.

The three are La Baguette, a salad and sandwich shop; Holiday Bakery, a Cuban-style bakery; and YoBlendz, a frozen-yogurt shop. All three are local operators and will be open every day to serve both fans and the local community, the team said Wednesday in a news release.

The Marlins characterized the selection of the three operators as “helping the economic development’’ of the impoverished Little Havana neighborhood around the publicly financed stadium, which will open in April. Marlins and public officials have said the stadium will spur economic improvements in the area, though experts caution sports facilities rarely succeed in doing so.

Commercial spaces in the adjacent, city-built parking garages, a linchpin of redevelopment promises, remain unleased after officials changed the leasing emphasis from neighborhood food and retail services to a high-end entertainment district.

The Marlins have previously announced several food and drink vendors who will operate inside the stadium, including the Don Camaron seafood restaurant, Latin American Grill and Papo Llega y Pon, a popular purveyor of pork sandwiches.
