Hey Publix - Your First Store is For Sale

+ Posted by Josh Hallett on 05.27.09 // 10:42 AM

The first free-standing Publix store is for sale. Located on Central Ave in Winter Haven this was actually the second store, but as I said before, it was the first free-standing store in the chain (here's the first store). For the longest time the church across the street has owned the building, but it's now up for sale. (Sorry for the old/bad photo, it's all I had)

The Second Publix

I've said for a while that Publix should buy this and restore it to the original condition from opening day, all those years ago.

Great idea. I would love to see that restored.

It's sad when companies completely abandon their history. Mostly likely no one in corporate is even aware, or cares.
