Tampa Bay Getting Two New Amazon Sites, Good News For Pasco County Shoppers

Ruskin was our first area Amazon center. But the Tampa Bay Times says Amazon is growing again in Florida. In 2021, we’ll see a warehouse in Temple Terrace and Lutz will have a delivery station. They say this will bring over 700 new jobs. They’re looking for workers to help pack and ship purchases but they will also need help in human resources, information technology, security and more. The starting wage is $15 per hour.

They say these new Amazon centers should mean you get your packages faster if you live in Pasco County. [Source: Tampa Bay Times]

Geno’s 10 Favorite Sandwiches in the Tampa Area

They’re so simple to make in a hurry, but these Tampa area spots take the sandwich to the next level, creating a masterpiece between those slices of bread.

• #10: Big Stein’s Deli in St. Pete

  Share

  The sandwiches at Big Stein's in St. Pete are well... big.

• #10: Big Steins Deli in St. Pete

  Share

  The Triple Deckers are enormous. It'll be lunch and dinner. They have about 4 or 5 to choose from with different combinations of roast beef, ham or turkey.

• #9: Poppa’s BBQ in Clearwater

  Share

  Get there early before the lunch rush. When they run out, they run out. The lunch special usually comes with a rib sandwich with a couple ribs on the side and a drink for under $10.
• #8: Zaxby’s in Largo

  Share

  That kick'n chicken... awesome. People went nuts over that "best fast food chicken sandwich" debate a few months ago. This one's my winner.

• #7: Wawa in Brandon

  Share

  Wawa's subs are far too good for a gas station sub. Sorry. Hoagie. Ever since they arrived in Florida in 2013, I've been hooked.

• #6: Tropicana Field in St. Pete

  Share

  Seriously. It stinks that fans aren't allowed in at the Trop right now. Never mind the baseball. The "Short Rib Grilled Cheese" is beer braised short rib, caramelized onion, horseradish cream with melted cheddar, Swiss and Havarti cheese.
• #5: Cousin’s Lobster in Clearwater

  Share

  This Maine kid gives his stamp of approval to their legit lobster roll. They're so authentically New England they even have Whoopie Pies. Some Floridians don't even know what a Whoopie Pie is. Shame.

• #4: Wright’s Gourmet in Tampa

  Share

  It's so simple, but their BLT is fantastic. Pricey, but this is South Tampa. Everything is pricey in South Tampa. PS don't forget the cupcake.

• #4: Wright’s

  Share

  Look at all that beautiful bacon.
• #4: Wright’s

  Share

  Seriously. If you go, don't forget the peanut butter chocolate cupcake.

• #3: Delco’s in Dunedin

  Share

  You know it's a legit Philly Cheesesteak when you can order it "with Whiz." No other cheesesteak I've had in Florida comes close to the one at Delco's.

• #2: Italia Mia

  Share

  Italia Mia - you are SO close to #1. The best Chicken Parmesan experience in Florida.
• #2: Italia Mia

  Share

  Their chicken parm sub is so good it took me dozens of visits before I finally tried their pizza, which is a shame because it's almost as good as the chicken parm.

• #2: Italia Mia

  Share

  Look at that.

• #2: Italia Mia

  Share

  OK last pic I promise... on to #1 we go.
• #1: Mazzaro’s Italian Market in St. Pete

  Share

  You know if you see a crowd and line like this, you're in for something good.

• #1: Mazzaro’s

  Share

  It's all about the #20 Hot Italian sub.

• #1: Mazzaro’s

  Share

  This thing really should cost way more than it does. It's a $10+ sub and it's only about $7.
• #1: Mazzaro’s

  Share

  BTW, get that blueberry soda. It's nearly impossible to find anywhere else in Florida.

• #1: Mazzaro’s

  Share

  And don't forget dessert. Their bakery and gelato case will give you too many options.

• #1: Mazzaro’s

  Share

  Good luck choosing.
• #1: Mazzaro’s

  Share

  And there's stuff to take home.

• #1: Mazzaro’s

  Share

  I mean plenty.

• #1: Mazzaro’s

  Share

  Cheers.
