Winn Dixie/Kwik Chek


710 9th Street North (or North 41) I don't have many Kwik/Chek stories my mom was a Publix cashier so you can figure where Homeboy's family loyalty was. I could piece together others stories but if you have a GOOD Kwik Chek story send it my way & I'll post it. I could tell Barry Johnson's water fountain story, Jeanie Rouse's cole slaw making story. I have bits & pieces of stories but we usually drove past it on the way to Publix. I know Publix was like going to Fort Myers but it was a 2 part trip pick up mom & grocery shop too.....
RE comments: I did not know Kwik Chek was formerly on 1st @ Hartleys!
More info from my reference bored, Pearlie Riner (I believe he was the city fire chief at one time also) opened the Trail Supermarket @ 1st & 41 in 1951. In May of 1958 sold it to Kwik Chek & then built the strip mall where Kwik Chek is in the above photo. Don't you just love this unknown little Naples history? Hi 5's to my commentor's & reference bored!
