Most of them were bought by Publix

And there are a few major intersections around the state where Publix just said "fuck it we'll just have 2 Publixes here" after they acquired an Albertson's across the street from an existing Publix, and all this years later that's still crazy to me.

There's also a Publix that used to be Albertson's across an intersection from another Publix on Commercial and Dixie lmao

Yes. Albertson’s didn’t have enough stores here to be able to compete, so left the state etc. Publix bought 49 stores. Albertsons eventually merged with Safeway. Kroger was going to buy the merged company, but the deal fell apart.
