Mandalay Bay & Mandalay Square

Construction has begun on this project as well. Land has been cleared, crews are busy at work. I'm not sure if they're working on Retail or Residential component at this time.

And this would be the other Wal-Mart Neighborhood Store I mentioned a while back in the Gaines St. thread

We've been talking about this in the office today. If Wal-Mart does decide to go with this, the developer is going to make a fortune on this property. Its not my place to say wether or not we need another Wal-Mart in this location. If these people have the money to spend, let them spend it. No one has to shop there if they don't want to, there's always The new Publix just down the road.

And then there were two. How many grocery stores does Tallahassee have? Is there really a demand for another one in that location? Sometime I feel all we have in this city are grocery stores, Mexican restaurants and strip malls. *Sigh*

the upside i guess is that you're never far from food.

[Florida]

Exactly.

We have 4 Harvey's TJ? I know where two are: West Tenn and South Monroe. Where are the other two?

And shouldn't you count New Leaf as a grocery store also?

I think he thought the Capital Circle and North Monroe ones were still open.

[Florida]

If they are no longer open, this I suppose we DO only have 2.

[psycuda]

What about the Food Lion on North North Monroe?

[Florida]

Golly... we sure have several empty grocery store sites now. Tremendous potential for redevelopment, however.

[Glenn]

^ Maybe Wal-Mart should look at moving their Neighborhood Markets into some of these empty grocery stores we have all over town instead of building new ones.

[Monticello-1827]

^ Glenn, that would be reasonable and make sense. As a result, there is absolutely no chance of that occurring!

are there plans for any of the abandoned centers to be redevloped? the only one i can think of that is moving forward is the Albertson's on the Parkway...

[Florida]

Ya know... I'm surprised the Publix at Northwood Mall is still vacant. That's an excellent location.

[DaiDreamer5]

When were these places built? Maybe there is an absceus (sp?) issue...

Oh ok. What a cool looking grocery store... at least from outside.

[cityboy05]

Kind of hitting of topic....... but I am just wondering, do yall remember that old grocery store called Bostons( I think that's the name)? I really loved that store! I remember there being 2 of them. One on parkway( where best buy is) and the other on Capital Circle NE( where Publix is). goodtimes..........

[Glenn]

^ I think you mean Bruno's. I really liked those stores too. They were headquartered in Birmingham, AL & owned by the same family that ran all the Food World grocery stores. The bulk of the family that ran the business all died together in a private plane crash & the company sold off a lot of locations after that.

[Florida]

Yes I remember Bruno's being where Publix is at the Corner of Capital Circle and Centerville and where Best Buy Currently sits. That store was decent in my opinion. I remember my family spending a little money there. I also remember something about people outside with signs that read, "Do not eat the Mushrooms".
