Original Winn-Dixie - Port St. Lucie, FL
Winn-Dixie #XXXX
7159 S. US Highway 1, Port St. Lucie, FL – St. Lucie Plaza
This Winn-Dixie opened in 1975 in one of the first shopping centers to be built in the then-new city of Port St. Lucie. Winn-Dixie relocated to 4967 South US Highway 1 in 1986. After Winn-Dixie left, I am told this was later home to a True Value Hardware store, and then later was split between a Chinese Buffet and Social Security Office. By 2014, both of those tenants had left, and the plaza was remodeled to have a more modern exterior (which was under construction when this photo was taken). The exterior resembled a 70’s Winn-Dixie much more prior to the remodel, although it’s still rather apparent. At the time, a nightclub had moved into the old Winn-Dixie space, although according to Google, it looks like that has since closed too.
Once Irma is behind us, we will begin out next AFB on flickr store tour. This next store we’ll take a look at is one that I’ve wanted to see for ages, and finally made it there just recently. And unlike the Fort Pierce Winn-Dixie, this next store we’ll be looking at was actually quite modern (and you’ll be shocked by that statement when you see just whose store this is!). While modern, I will say it did lose some of its sparkle due to recent events in the last few months. Anyway, if all goes well down here with the storm, I’m hoping to start that set off sometime next week! See everyone then!
