Shell City and Fredricks

Post by Steve Landry »

Any info on the above chains in S. Florida?

Shell City Stores were gigantic stores way ahead of their time. They had eveything from full service food to firearms (discount operation). I don't know when they began to operate but have read mention of them in the 1950's to the 60's?

Fredricks bought this company. Fredricks was a super FUTURE supermarket chain. They had everything from pharmacy to shoe repair. They were a very upscale and quality customer service type operation, not discount. I am pretty sure they had a minimum of 10 stores in S. Florida. 1930's to 1950's? I have not been able to discover whom started this company.

Food Fair eventually purchased them.
