Groceries & Markets in Oldsmar

Rinnova Med-Surgical and Laser Institute enlists highly trained medical aestheticians to perform a wide range of anti-aging, wrinkle-diminishing skin services. All treatments begin with a VISIA in-depth consultation, which harnesses electronic discernment like a supercomputer's search for Waldo. Technicians then analyze skin's every crevice in order to identify needy areas and personalize treatment. Following analysis, aestheticians utilize their newfound knowledge, along with pelt-pampering enzyme technology, to diminish wrinkles and pores, and leave a rejuvenated, glowing complexion. During the one-hour treatment, an aesthetician kneads stress caused by mediating barbershop-quartet feuds out through patrons' hands and feet.

Though the colorfully packaged products at International Food Mart may seem like those of any neighborhood grocery, a simple perusal of their labels reveal a much wider world beyond its shelves. The store carries oils and coffees from Asia, Europe, and the Middle East, along with a selection of fresh produce, meats, and fish that've flown themselves across the ocean from far-away lands. Many ingredients find their way into the staff's Middle Eastern and Vietnamese carryout meals, such as falafel wraps, lo mein noodle dishes, and pork egg rolls.

From his three offices, board-certified dermatologist Dr. Christopher Ewanowski and his knowledgeable staff help restore epidermises with cosmetic, medical, and surgical skin treatments.

For more invasive procedures, including eyelid-lifting blepharoplasty and Dr. Ewanowski's specialty, the cancer-ridding Mohs micrographic surgery, the doctor treats clients in the in-office surgical suite. Suncoast’s resident aesthetician pampers with medical-grade spa services, using products from such skincare brands as SkinMedica, Avène, and glo.

Providing a personalized alternative to huge pharmacy chains, the technicians at St. Mary Pharmacy aim to do more than just fill customers' prescriptions. They speak with customers about their medications and address any questions during consultations, and pharmacists can provide drug monitoring. St. Mary Pharmacy also provides free delivery for medications and other items, permanently removing one errand from to-do lists and easing clients' worries, particularly if they have mobility challenges.

Surf & Turf Market's curated selection of gourmet groceries includes grain-fed USDA Prime cuts of beef, fresh-daily seafood catches, and prepared entrees and deli-style sides. Seafood from the Gulf of Mexico and other famous swimming pools includes fresh and frozen mahi-mahi, king crab, and conch. Hormone-free chicken, grain-fed pork, and hand-made sausages line up in the meat and poultry case, ready to form dinner alliances with legions of potato and pasta salads. The store also organic wines and dairy, frozen food items, and imported cheeses.

During World War I, Greek immigrant Louis Pappas served in the Army as a personal chef to General John Pershing. To give the hungry general some extra nutrition, Louis began adding scoops of potato salad to his traditional greek salads. When Louis returned to the United States, he opened up his own restaurant, Louis Pappas Riverside Café, where he would re-create this signature dish using fresh produce from his own ranch in Tarpon Springs.

Today, Louis Pappas's grandson continues his grandfather's old Florida family tradition at Pappas Ranch. There, he and his kitchen serve up a new menu of fresh seafood, poultry, sandwiches, street tacos, hand-cut steaks, and barbecue dishes whose "family flair" has been lauded by Metromix Tampa Bay. They continue to scoop savory housemade potato salad into their internationally renowned Louis Pappas Famous greek salad, tossing it in massive bowls that serve as many as four diners. Bartenders dole out glasses of locally brewed craft beers and wine or mix cocktails and martinis at the full center bar with flat-screen TVs.

The restaurant's decor channels that of the original Pappas family ranch. In the dining room, spacious booths are surrounded by rustic wooden walls, and outside is a covered outdoor patio.
