Corey Avenue 5 & 10-cent Store, St Petersburg

This family variety store is still housed in the original building in which it was founded in 1949. In Florida where businesses change rapidly, this qualifies as historic, if not downright Florida-prehistoric! Friendly and unassuming, this throwback to a kinder, gentler era features the personal service that evokes the shopping experience of yesteryear. Looking for Blue Waltz perfume or Panama Jack hats? You may be in luck here. From "pie flutes to Hula Hoops," variety is the keynote here and the stock includes a multitude of Florida souvenirs, as well.
