Statesboro's Failed Supermarkets

Former Publix #460 University Commons 600 Northside Drive East Statesboro, GA 30458 Make sure to check out all of my other historical Publix content   Update (December 2025): It appears that this store is preparing to house a new tenant. Welcome to the 'Boro!  You might be asking yourself "why is he back from his holiday hiatus?" and the answer is that I couldn't resist publishing one more post before 2023 was a mere memory.  As you can see, this is the well-deserved eighth entry into my When Publix Waves Goodbye series; furthermore, today's post is a bit outside of my typical territory, but the specimen we'll examine today was well worth the trip (it helps that work sent me to the area).  Let's just say that this store has perplexed The Albertsons Florida Blogger and me both to the point where I figured I needed to take action . . . This story begins on January 10, 1994, when Publix #460 opened as the s...

Tallahassee #6 | Harveys #1631 - Havana, FL

Tallahassee #6 Sing Food Store | Deli | Sing Sportswear 3610 Shamrock Street West Tallahassee, FL 32309 Scroll Down for today's MTC post on Harveys #1631 Well, here I am again – long time, no see!  The last few months have been a bit crazy for me, but not necessarily in a bad way; I just haven’t had much time to write long-winded posts.  The time I have been able to spare has gone toward further research on the ongoing fallout from the ALDI / Winn-Dixie deal.  More on that in a bit. I may not be “Drunk on a Plane,” as Dierks would say, but I am on a plane as I write this and reminisce over my last few months.  I’ve been to five states, taken on many personal projects, visited several old friends, attended a couple of concerts, stopped by an auction or two, and of course, visited plenty of new places for the blog.  When I’ll get to share those places, I don’t know, but I do know that we will at least get to cross off two of my circa 2022 adventur...

  Publix #1010 Publix in Atlantic Station 1380 Atlantic Drive NW Ste 14135 Atlanta, GA 30363 Update: ToNeTo Atlanta reports that this store will permanently close on December 27, 2025. Make sure to check out my full directory of supermarket posts here . Welcome to a new year of The Sing Oil Blog, and welcome back to Atlanta!  Today's post is a special one because it marks the last chapter of my Boredom Series written during July 2022 while I was still working at my previous job.  You may have just done a double-take at your calendar, and yes, it is now 2025.   Why the heck did I wait this long to publish the story of Publix #1010? Honestly, having posts like this in my backlog gives me a safety net for instances when time gets away from me, and that time is nigh.  Despite me taking a weeks' long hiatus from posting, I've still dedicated the hours I'd normally spend writing to researching the current implosion of Southeastern Gro...
