St. Pete Beach Businesses Bounce Back

0:00It's April 15th. This is Tampa Bay News today, AI-powered stories from your city. I'm Cory with the story. Nearly one year ago, back in May, a massive fire ripped through the public supermarket at Dolphin Village Plaza on St. Pete Beach in Pinellas County, Florida. That blazed wiped out the store and shook up the whole shopping center. Since then, the other businesses there have been grinding nonstop just to keep their doors open and lights on. Others tell me they've fielded tons of questions from folks wondering if they're even still around. Like publics has gone, so are you close too. It's been a real test of resilience. Fast forward to now, and these spots are finally bouncing back, rebuilding customer trust one day at a time. Word on the street is there tougher than ever. Proving small businesses can weather the storm and come out swinging.
