Wow that is going way back. Down by stevendale if I remember


Not quite that far. Just a little past Flannery. I want to say it was where Jim Stone Company is now. Or maybe just east of that. On the way out to Stevendale though.

Not reading 12 pages but I believe there was a Pancho's Mexican Buffet way down Florida Blvd.

Sorry if a repeat.

Kroger was the first occupant of the property, 1972 or so.


Kroger may have been in the part that was K-Mart (now Family Dollar) before K-Mart, I cant remember that far back. It was a K-Mart by 1976. But the extension that was built in 1982 or 1983 (Google Maps says part of it is now the Encounter Church) was first an A&P. You can see the building is different where they added on. The style of the addition was that early 80's "modern" look. Dark glass, fake brick. The store was brand new when I started working there.

Globe. It was located across N. Ardenwood from Sears which was also on the corner of Florida and N. Ardenwood.
