Town Square Center — Local services in Tampa

This little strip mall has been around since I can remember (at least the 1980’s). Throughout my life I would stop here for different reasons. In the early 2000’s when Starbucks was first popular I would stop here just for the coffee. When I got a job in the Westshore area, in the 2010’s, I would eat at the Panera.

I never knew I spent so much of my life here. Thank God I shop at Men’s Warehouse or I would probably be shopping at the Joseph A Banks they have there too, and spending even more time here. Truth is, if you’ve spent any time in Westshore or South Tampa, you’ve probably been here.

They have outdoor seating, though, and since there is a Petco here as well, it is an easy spot to grab some food and treats for both you and your dog-friend (as long a s someone else can walk in to...
