Publix #1321 - St. Petersburg, FL
Summer break just concluded, so now I am back to posting after 2 months of inactivity. Albertsons #4311/Publix #1321 3030 54th Ave. South, St. Petersburg, FL - Seville Square Opened in 1976 as Albertsons #4311. This store received two remodels, one in 1988 and another in 2001. The 2001 remodel was done in order to bring this Albertsons into the Plaza store design, such as relocating liquors from the side of the store to the front, and changing the store's interior from Blue & Gray Market to Grocery Palace. Then come to 2008: This and 48 other Albertsons stores in Florida were sold to Publix Supermarkets, and store 4311 reopened as Publix #1321 on January 15, 2009. Publix #1321 coexists with another Publix (store #1541) one-half mile to the west. That store was rebuilt from an older Publix (store #259) that existed on the same site. Stepping inside, we can see traces of Albertsons interior that Publix left behind! You can also see the Publix welcome sign
