I mentioned yesterday that we're kind of doing this in reverse order: in the 1960s, Iandoli Supermarkets opened here in this roughly 20,000 square foot space. A Mammoth Mart department store was next door. Around the 1970s, Iandoli moved into the Mammoth space and rebranded to Food Village. That later became a Shaw's, which eventually moved a bit south. Following Iandoli's departure from this space, it became an Austin Liquors store, which was a liquor store chain owned by the Iandolis also. Although a few Austin Liquors remain around the city, it doesn't look like they're related to the Iandolis anymore, and they might not even be related to each other. That's all for this strip mall, but tomorrow we'll check out a tiny independent grocer just up the block!
