The pharmacy was on left/liquor store side but further back. The current layout has no upper office level, as that was torn down to make room for the front foyer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628100700550321985.post-10527413652021256922021-05-16T20:27:27.475-04:002021-05-16T20:27:27.475-04:00Hi AFB, I really liked shopping at this Albertsons...Hi AFB, I really liked shopping at this Albertsons. I wish that sit would have lasted longer. Once it closed I liked to shop at the Publix on Dean RD, and University BLVD. Unfortunately, this Publix will be closing down on June 5,2021 for (you will never guess) to be torn down and rebuilt! <br /><br />Anyway, I found some old pictures of this Albertsons from a website called Foresquare. Here is the link: https://foursquare.com/v/albertsons/4b913a0af964a5207fab33e3<br /><br />I am a long time reader of the blog, and very pleased with all your hard work!Enjoyable Retailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10302180790090468028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628100700550321985.post-67683883832782355642016-01-04T19:55:18.915-05:002016-01-04T19:55:18.915-05:00Lol at 2 1/4 Hobby Lobbies :P Enjoy looking when ...Lol at 2 1/4 Hobby Lobbies :P Enjoy looking when you get the chance! Maybe you'll be able to spring for something. I personally don't have room for any more stuff, lol!

Off to the left of Hobby Lobby's current registers (from the perspective of just walking into the store), there was a small alcove which led to two doors, one on the left and one on the right. The door on the right was marked 'Classroom' (probably a closed in part of the old pharmacy), and the door on the left was blank, probably leading to the stairs for the offices or a breakroom (if Hobby Lobby chose to keep the upper level). That was all I saw that might suggest there's something up there, if at all anymore.Albertsons Florida Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17350708223049245195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628100700550321985.post-51626463772785058632016-01-04T11:49:54.745-05:002016-01-04T11:49:54.745-05:00The layout of this store strongly suggests that th...The layout of this store strongly suggests that there might have been an upper level office mezzanine.

I'm surprised there were so many photos out there of this plaza. I came by here a few years too late to see all the good stuff when it was alive, but it was still interesting in its current state.<br /><br />This was my first official time in a Hobby Lobby (other than my stroll through the Hobby Lobby lobby in Kissimmee). If I had more time, I would have looked through your (as well as my) favorite department a little closer. I really liked the Texaco light/lamp! Next time I go to Super Target, maybe I'll go across the street to the Viera Hobby Lobby to look at this stuff a little closer. Although I've only been to 2 1/4 Hobby Lobbies, it seems like they try to have all of their stores designed to fit the same floor plan and look (with the exception of those infamous entry lobbies!). It's amazing how a brand new ground up built Hobby Lobby and a Hobby Lobby in a 25 year old former supermarket feel so similar!<br /><br />I have lots of good stuff coming up. No set date for the fixtures graveyard, but it's a really interesting place, and there's something else very special about that place other than the fact it's the Albertsons Florida fixtures graveyard. Lots more other stuff coming soon though!Albertsons Florida Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17350708223049245195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628100700550321985.post-64653432662066466282016-01-03T14:27:18.706-05:002016-01-03T14:27:18.706-05:00Cool that you were able to find photos of both the...Cool that you were able to find photos of both the Albertsons and Kmart while they were still in business! I agree, the brick treatment on both stores is very nice.<br /><br />If I didn't know any better, I'd say that's the new Hobby Lobby that opened near me - their interiors seem identical. You also found my favorite section of the store :P<br /><br />Looking forward to all the future posts, especially the Albertsons Florida fixtures graveyard one!Retail Retellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12636351832804174132noreply@blogger.com
