Shopper’s Fair was the store located at the current BRCC site. Globe was in the north side of Florida next door to what is now the Dept of Ag and Forestry.

i don’t remember the one on Starring, but they had a Pepperoni’s pizza on Perkins and Potwin (near Siegen) and another on Old Jefferson and Parkforest (where Tramontes is now).

We would get pizza from one of the locations every Friday night. It was always great.


I grew up in Village St George and would go to the Pepperoni's at the front of the neighborhood all the time. $.99 personal Pan Pizzas were the best deal.

Mi Tierra is there now.





The Pepperoni's on Staring was right here by Town South. Auto Parts store and a gas station are there now. I'm not sure what side of Town South it was on but it was definitely in this area.

I believe it was The Blue Bird - they also served beer in frozen glasses, if my memory is correct. If this was answered in the previous 8 pages, my apologies.
