When I lived in FL there were 2 Publix across the street from each other for a similar reason. The Albertsons across the street went out of business and public didn’t want competition moving in. They’re both always busy though since the road is 4 lanes in each direction and a lot of people living around them. They also have slightly different products available at each.
