The one closing in Fernandina Beach Fl has been so unsuccessful, one could shoot off a machine gun in it and not ever hit anyone except an employee. It is about 1/4 mile from Publix which has about 100 times the patronage. This store has been this way for at least 15 years and I am surprised it lasted this long.
More of interest, it is an anchor store in a small strip mall to which about 10 other stores were added four years ago and which have remained vacant from day one. This strip mall seems destined to become a ghost mall soon. I wonder what bank has it on its non performing assets listing?
Very similar to the Food Lion by my house in Fruit Cove. I've been using it as a very large convenience store since they have a good selection, low prices and it's never crowded. We also have 2 Publix stores nearby that are always crowded. I go right by the Food Lion on my way home from Church and frequently stop in to get their cake doughnuts to enjoy with my coffee. Bummer
