World Thrift Poised to Take Over the World!

With the announcement that World Thrift bought the now former Park Avenue Barbeque property, I thought it deserved a little photo essay. A sign posted on the World Thrift front door now tells people that it is o.k. to park on the lot to the south since they now own it.

 Above is view of the former Park Avenue lot during the mid-afternoon today. Customers of World Thrift are already parking there.

Besides the public sidewalk along Dixie, there is a section of fence that has been removed to allow "access" between the two properties. The World Thrift property was parked fairly full - about 85% I would guess. There was the usual parking in the aisles of the parking lot on the north and south property lines, which shouldn't be allowed anyway.

 The picture above is of the Arbor Plaza parking lot along its southern property line. It is north of World Thrift. These are almost exclusively World Thrift shoppers. While there, we say three of four cars carry off people that came from World Thrift. They did no business in Arbor Plaza.

 

This is the famous "charity bin" in the eastern part of the World Thrift parking lot that fronts on Dixie Hwy. A "Welcome to Lake Worth" sign for sure.

The contents of the open bin today. Do you think that World Thrift may use this to supplement their inventory?

We now have a former destination restaurant where its parking lot is being used by another business of questionable quality - but it does fit our demographic. And the building will be used for storage - what better use for a commercial property along Dixie Hwy. in Lake Worth! It won't use any power and won't attract any people that wouldn't otherwise be here.
