Country Club Estates Grocery & Poultry Farm at the south west corner of Westward Drive & N. Esplanade Drive in 1932 and the same location now. This grocery store was established in 1927 and was predated in 1926 by the Handy Andy Grocery store located at what is now 100 Westward Drive. That’s Glenn Curtiss Jr. next to his car on the Esplanade Canal bridge. Country Club Estates became Miami Springs in 1930 but the sign on the grocery store remained Country Club Estates Grocery.
