B&B Cash Grocery was founded in 1923 and had approximately 30 stores at its peak. In the late 1940s, B&B began expanding its holdings in Tampa, and this store was built in what was initially called B&B Plaza. It was later changed to Henderson Boulevard Shopping Center.
B&B Corporate Holdings, a division of the original company, still owns the center. In the 1960s, the founders' son changed their stores' names to U-Save to elicit a more budget-friendly name. U-Save closed this location in the summer of 2005, and Fresh Market opened in October 2006 after a major rehab.
