Xtra Super Food Center was a chain of large-format supermarkets that operated in South and Central Florida, owned by Puerto Rico-based grocery operator Pueblo International. Xtra Super Food Center stores were unique due to their size (reaching nearly 80,000 square feet - some of the largest supermarkets to ever operate in Florida) and wide assortment of Hispanic-oriented products in a large warehouse-style environment to keep prices low. The first Xtra Super Food Center opened in a former Gold Triangle building across from Hialeah's Westland Mall in 1983, with the chain growing to 11 locations before it met its demise in 1996. Thanks to some help from fellow blogger Pseudo3D, here is a list of all the Xtra Super Food Center stores to have operated in Florida during the chain's 13 years in business:
