Lee’s Food Store occupied the westernmost storefront space in the Terminal Inn, the two-story brick building built in 1920 across from the A.C.L. passenger rail station. Lee’s was one of a series of grocery and general stores in the space, and some readers may remember it is the site of Star Credit (“Charge it, Mr. Star!”) Though Lee’s was not likely the primary grocery for many African-American shoppers, but it surely employed them and was a familiar location. This ad reveals some of the grocery staples (and boys’ toys) available during the late World War II era.
