Every time I write an article about a Costco coming to Florida, it gets a good deal of attention and excitement. After all, there are only there are only just over 30 Costcos in Florida currently. And CNet has calculated that one can save $1,000 per year by shopping at the warehouse retailer.

After writing Florida restaurant articles for years, I've come to believe that Floridians want high-quality food when they splurge on a restaurant meal. Although one would think that an eatery that was recognized by the James Beard Foundation might have some longevity - especially when it serves a dish that isn't found in many other restaurants - that wasn't the case with one Florida restaurant.

Many people have lost faith in the news and question truth from all comers. The idea of a universal truth, outside of the sky being blue and that one plus one equals two, seems to be more and more elusive. One thing that everyone can agree on, however, is that cats are the world's greatest pets. Dogs are fine, sure, but they aren't cats. Fish are kind of fun to look at...for like five minutes. Cats though? No fact check needed. They're the best.

Grabbing a donut, muffin, bagel, or coffee on your way to or from work can be a nice way to give yourself a sweet treat or pick me up without spending much money. Unfortunately, a Florida restaurant in this genre was recently closed down. I frequently write about restaurant closures, and I can honestly say that I have never seen a violation like the one that caused the closure.

The Scituate Animal Shelter of Massachusetts recently introduced Chewbacca, nicknamed Chewy, who they describe as a funny fella who loves everyone. “This adorable mutt is built like an oversized Shih Tzu and weighs 25 lbs. Since he was found as a stray and never claimed, we don't know much about his past.” Chewy has a personality as unique as his looks. "He is overly friendly with all, dogs included. He can come on a bit strong but in the kindest way. He wants everyone to be his friend!" states the Scituate Animal Shelter of Massachusetts, who is currently caring for Chewy until he finds his forever home.

It's not unusual for old Florida buildings like Kmart and Golden Coral to be demolished to be repurposed for other things. And now, a Florida Burger King has been torn down for a somewhat surprising downsizing reason.

“We have no idea where we are going, when we are going or if we will have housing or need to return to the buses [at the landing zone]”. [ORIGINAL STORY] Migrants in the Standard Club shelter on S. Plymouth are living hour to hour as the information they are giving changes. Children are told to keep their toys in their bags and to take only one out to play with, something easy to pack quickly if needed. They are all on edge as the city decides what to do with their group, having received information and instructions that seems to be ever-changing and to provide no details about what’s to happen to them.

Generally speaking, it's easy to think that a Florida restaurant that has served its community for decades is safe from closure. After all, it has withstood good times and bad and has withstood the test of time in its community.

Port Orange, FL

As food costs have risen and inflation takes hold, some Floridians have stopped eating out as much, and, as a result, I've written about several Florida restaurants that have either struggled, allegedly gotten behind on rent, or gone out of business as a result.

It's no secret that in 2023, Florida lost 41 Bed, Bath, and Beyond stores when the retailer filed for bankruptcy and shuttered stores. Often, the closing Bed, Bath and Beyond stores were anchor stores, which meant their absence left a huge void in some of Florida's shopping centers.

Clearwater, Florida: Although many people know Kirstie Alley from her time on the wildly popular sitcom Cheers, there was much more to her than that. Alley was also a mother, and, at least part-time, she was a Floridian living in a home in Clearwater, Florida, that she purchased from Lisa Marie Presley. (The home recently sold for just over $5 million after Alley's death.)

Many Floridians enjoy all-you-can-eat buffets as they offer plenty of food variety for one fixed price. Unfortunately, one popular option in this niche - Plant City Homestyle Buffet - was closed for three days after a state inspection. Unfortunately, this isn't its first closure.
