I'm disappointed. This Sweetbay always has customers in it when I go. I love the produce section especially the fresh greens...head and shoulders better than Publix in that regard. Publix produce is wayyyyyy overpriced and their greens in bags can't compare to the fresh greens sold at Sweetbay.

The reason these stores are "underperforming" is that their prices are so high.
Same with Publix. The only way to food shop around here is to buy what is on sale from each store and stock up with BOGO free.
Sorry these people are losing their jobs.

I guess these smart owners don't think much about west St. Petersburg, Leaves us without any Sweetbay. Might as well close the rest of them here, won't be worth your advertising dollars for a couple stores. And not many people are going to drive miles to go to another one here. Yeah, Save A Lot and ALDI.............

Please, please, please Trader Joe's come here!

I heard Kroger was coming.

Trader Joe's would be AWESOME!

Oh man. I'm so sad. I just moved to this area from MA 6 months ago and was thrilled to find Hannafords (my all time favorite grocery store) had a subsidiary. Now... what? Publix and pay more? So bummed...

Bummer; I really like Sweetbay because they carry several vegan items I can't find anywhere else.

Katie, the green produce available at Sweetbay was so vibrant and reasonably priced. My guess is Whole Foods will be like Publix, jacking up prices just because the bunch of kale is in "Whole Foods". I'll just have to rely on Tommy's produce, Dunedin Produce on Patricia and the Green Market. Hopefully this space will cater to the health conscious citizens in Dunedin.

When Dunedin allowed the Walmart Market to open across the street from Sweetbay, it killed their business immediately. I have shopped at Sweetbay on Main for many years mainly due to the employees. The employees at this store are always very friendly and helpful, something that is hard to come by at the other big chain groceries in Dunedin. It was so sad to see the decline of this store and to see many of the employees laid off, it was only a matter of time before it was slated for closure. This is what happens when we allow "huge" cutthroat competitors to open up across the street. I will sorely miss this store and will now take most of my business to the Dunedin Green Market, Richards and Natures Food Patch in Clearwater. I avoid the other "big chain" stores as much as I can.

No suprise. I saw this coming for quite a while. They could not compete with Wall Mart's prices. I shopped there every week in the beginning, but with a family of five to feed, I realized how much I could save elsewhere.
