Sears Holdings to close Jacksonville Kmart, layoff 71

[If_I_Loved_you]

Damn. That K-Mart has been there since the beginning of time - almost.

Hope Piccadilly & Jiffy Lube dont follow.

I'm surprised Piccadilly isn't gone already? Jacksonville only has the Piccadilly's on University and Ramona Blvd left and they hang on by a thread.

I always liked Morrison's better, anyway. Made me mad when Picadilly bought em out.

I believe when Morrison's was in business they had one at the old Roosevelt mall. But the Picadilly that was in the Regency Sq Mall to me was the best but it's long gone as is the one that stood alone outside Regency Sq Mall. S & S cafeteria's have left Florida all together I believe. You have to go up to Macon Ga to find a couple still open there.

The Morrison's near Regency was very good, too. Going WAY back, Morrison's also had locations downtown, at Gateway Mall, and Southgate Plaza.

I remember S&S, but never ate there.

I do not remember the Morrison's Downtown my parents never took us to the Gateway Mall or Southgate Plaza Morrison's. We went to the Morrison's that at one time was at the Orange Park Mall and Roosevelt Mall. And the special treat was the Picadilly at the Regency Sq Mall. I remember when lunch or dinner was done we would take our trays with the dirty plates and glasses over to the conveyor belt and watch the tray till it disappeared. And S & S cafeteria was over at Cedars Hills Shopping Ctr but I only ate there as an adult. The Sign still stands in the Cedar Hills parking lot today.

^^Thats one more thing kids today are gonna miss: Watching the dirty dishes go down the conveyor belt

I did the same thing as a kid, and always wondered where they went.

Getting back on topic, the KMart on Beach once had a restaurant in it - but no conveyor belt for the dishes. Maybe thats why it closed
