In the 50s and 60s this Kwik Chek was frequented by throngs of beautiful young single stewardesses working for mainly Eastern and National Airlines but also Delta, Northeast and Pan Am. A large percentage of them lived in numerous apartment houses along South Royal Poinciana Boulevard just to the northwest of the store. By the early to mid 70s most of them moved out for other locations in Dade County, such as Coconut Grove and Kendall. Kwik Chek turned into Winn Dixie, the parent company's name. This land is now occupied by a Burger King and an Office Depot.

The Miami Springs Holiday Inn is on the east side of LeJeune and located between South Royal Poinciana and the Miami Canal separating Miami Springs from Hialeah.
