I have a close friend who is moving next week to Houston, Texas, a house on Tarpon Spring Lane. I'd like to get her a gift certificate to a grocery store, or chain store down there. Can anyone tell me what large grocery stores are down there, or home improvement or even Pepe's or Chili's or the like? tia

Major grocery stores here are Kroger and HEB. There is also Whole Foods Market. Home improvement is Lowes and Home Depot. There is Chili's, Applebee's, and most of the larger chains are here. Hope this helps!

Thanks! I'll see if I can get some gift certs for her. I now remember her mentioning HEB......You are super for responding so quickly!
