Albertsons is Out; What Should Go In?

What business would you like to see in the building that previously housed Albertsons?

The closing of Albertsons at 3313 Lithia-Pinecrest Rd,, Valrico, earlier this month left a big vacancy at the Valrico Centre Shoppes at the intersection of Lithia-Pinecrest and Miller roads.

The store was among 13 Albertsons closed around the state as part of a corporate downsizing.

So, what would you like to see occupy the 56,000-square-foot space left vacant by Albertsons? An Aldi Market? How about Trader Joe's?

Tell us your preference in the "Comments" section.

I will miss Albertson's so much, but I'd love to see Trader Joe's go in there!

I would love a Whole Foods, Fresh Market or Trader Joe's! We also have a vacancy in Brandon where the old Borders used to be...that would be a perfect spot for one of these places also.

Trader Joe's would be good, or a Wegmans..........

PLEASE Whole Foods or a Trader Joes! We need something like that in our area. There isn't anything like them any where near us.

Trader's Joe's, or Whole Foods would be so great and would revive that whole shopping center!

Wow, lots of interest in a Trader Joe's!

I love Trader Joe's. There's one near my sister's house in St. Louis and I go there whenever I'm in town. We definitely need one in this area.

Lecia, Trader Joe's is a specialty grocery store where you can find foods that no other store carries. They have a lot of Vegan and Gluten-Free products, too.

Love Trader Joe's, can hardly wait till the one in Sarasota opens this year!
