1961 Publix Market in Sarasota, Florida

Publix is the most popular grocery store chain in Florida, and they opened their first location in Winter Haven, Florida in 1930. This photo was taken at the chain’s Sarasota location in 1961 and the vintage cars are a sight to behold. By the ’60s, Publix was the dominant supermarket chain in Central Florida, so they began expanding towards South Florida.
