I'm just bumping this up so maybe Edric will see it.

Welcome back Edric :)

Please see my post regarding Fredrick's (below).

Thanks

Thanks Dan.............Food World.

From what I remember it was Publix's answer to Pantry Pride (Food Fair) which was the low price leader in Florida.

:)

I believe you are speaking about Foodworld? Or maybe Foodland? It was a short lived discount operation for Publix. There were very few of them and I think it was northern or mid area Florida (maybe even Tampa). :) To my knowledge none exist any longer and also, I do not think Publix ever carried Top...

Edric...............man of the South.............where are you?

I thought you would have some knowledge to share with me.

:)

Yep.................they sure did.

The Tampa / St. Pertersburg market area was a separate Division for many years.

I do not remember exactly when that division was "disposed" of but maybe mid 1980's?

Thanks Dave...............no success. It only goes to 1982

Guess I have to go to the main library.

:)

Dear Host and anyone else, I am trying to do a backwards research on the Fredrick's Supermarket chain that existed in Florida (south). I know they had at least 10 stores and that Food Fair bought them early 1950's? I have not been successful, so I thought that maybe doing research on the very early ...

Hmmmmmmm......but was not the small store on Beverwill and Olympic (not sure of this cross street) in Beverly Hills called Pavillions Place? I do not remember any little stores next to it nor would I call it a mall. There is a 2 story parking structure next to it. The parking lot is very small. ????...

Ahhhhhh, yes! That was the name, Chalet Gourmet. Thank you :)

There was more than one Chalet Gourmet. Bristol bought them all.

Thanks again!

Ummmmmmmm, no, not exactly. The interesting building you speak of that is now a Kinkos is farther east (I think the minor cross street is Stanley?). I believe it may be across the street from the Indian restaurant Dar Marghrib << spelling? Or, the Samuel French book store. :) Bristol Farms is on the...

Yes, I think you are on the mark about that. If memory serves me, Pavillions Place was the moniker they used for their smaller stores (in upscale neighborhoods).

LOL, David...........you know me so well :) That's what I was thinking (given the Field's presence, even though it was much later). What throws me off is the high part of the building in the back (an add on?). The parking situation would be relative to the time period it was built, no? Anyway..........

Hey Jeff, the Bristol Farms on Sunset & Fairfax was another gourmet grocery store before it was Bristol. I can not remember the name. Before THAT, it may have been a restaurant (possibly before 1985?).

Yes, Daniel, it is owned by Albertsons.

:)

The Wilton Manors (5 points) has only one entrance and it is a very small store for being so new (just under 28,000). They wanted to build much bigger, but the landlord and the city said NO. Let me try one more time on those stores on Oakland Park Bl., because it may jog your memory :) As your trave...
