Tropic Save was a Hispanic-oriented grocer, which would later change its name to Qudaro Supermarket in the early 2010's. After it was announced that this Kash n' Karry store in Ocoee would be closing in 2004, Topic Save Supermarket took over this space almost immediately after Kash n' Karry closed. This move would allow Delhaize to focus on Kash n' Karry's core store base located in Western Florida, a plan which would later include rebranding all remaining Kash n' Karry stores to Sweetbay ( which you can read more about here). In 2004, with sales still faltering and Kash n' Karry still struggling, Food Lion pulled the brand out of Eastern and Central Florida. Essentially, these stores were nothing more than a purple and teal Food Lion. Food Lion didn't do much to expand the selection carried at these stores, or add/expand the fresh departments to feel more like a traditional Kash n' Karry. However, these conversions weren't very successful. The Ocoee Food Lion converted to Kash n' Karry in 1999, and would later receive an interior remodel and exterior facelift to make this Food Lion feel more like a Kash n' Karry.

In order to salvage their Florida stores, Food Lion decided to convert all of their stores outside of Northern and Northeastern Florida over to the Kash n' Karry brand, including all of their Central Florida locations. In 1996, Food Lion had bought Tampa-based Kash n' Karry, a long established Florida supermarket chain that had fallen on financial troubles, which Food Lion hoped to turn around. Between being crushed by better competitors and having somewhat of a 'discount' concept that never really caught on in Florida, Food Lion was looking for a last ditch effort to salvage their Florida division. At least this location was decent enough to have continued operation as a supermarket all these years later, as many of Food Lion's less-thought-through locations are still sitting empty, or have been converted into non-retail uses.Д«y 1999, Food Lion was struggling in Florida. However, Food Lion picked much worse locations in their rapid push to expand throughout Florida than this.

This store was built a bit off the beaten path from any other retail in the area, in the middle of a residential neighborhood at the north side of Ocoee's downtown (which is not exactly the most bustling downtown - it's mostly residential too, with a few small industrial sites mixed in). As Food Lion was rapidly expanding and trying to increase their store count in Florida in the early 1990s, they were picking some rather odd locations for stores. Food Lion was the one who also developed this shopping center. Constructed on a small former citrus grove, this shopping center was built in 1990 with Food Lion as the first grocery store to occupy this space.
