1968 - an Eagle Army-Navy discount store at 6101 9th Avenue North, St. Petersburg (sorry it's not Miami)

6101 9th Avenue North, St. Petersburg, Florida


Thank you to Alvin Lederer for contributing this great old image of an Eagle Army-Navy store in St. Petersburg. Thank you to Tom Beech for sending me an old news article about the opening of the store in a group of stores anchored by a new Zayre department store. I never knew this but the article mentions that Eagle Army-Navy was a wholly owned subsidiary of Lum's Inc., the Miami-based restaurant chain who had acquired Eagle Army-Navy in a stock swap. See http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=950&dat=19680919&id=kldQAAAAIBAJ&sjid=RFcDAAAAIBAJ&pg=6101,3716532 to read the article.

Eagle Army-Navy had numerous similar stores all over the county and prices there were pretty cheap in comparison to other stores. I used to frequent the one in the 600 block of W. 49th Street (Palm Springs Mile) next to the Royal Castle on the northwest corner of the intersection.

I remember going as a child to the one on W 49th St in Hialeah esp. around Christmas time. This site is now occupied by a bank.
