USA Bearings & Belts Outgrows Garage, Expands Inventory

3615 Century Blvd, Ste 4A | (863) 248-8499

USA Bearings & Belts began as an e-commerce business in Curt Benjamin & Jo Dinius’s home in 2007.  In the beginning, they filled the garage with inventory and called on the agricultural market selling conveyor belts and bearings.

In February 2010, they moved to the current location due to an ever growing inventory which could no longer be contained in their home.  Curt & Jo continue to grow and have expanded the lines of product by adding Electric Motors, Chain, Sprockets, Shaft Collars Pulleys, V-Belts, Lawn and Garden Belts, Conveyor Belts and much more.

At the new location they service walk in business, local companies as well as the e-commerce business.  USA Bearings & Belts is a minority (woman) owned business growing to service the Lakeland and surrounding areas.

MJ’s Cuban Café Brings Good Food to Robin Road

MJ’s Cuban Cafe | (863) 644-4400

635 Robin Road

First opened in April 2009, MJ’s Cuban Cafe has a new location and a new name, but still the same great food! Here is an excerpt from Trent Rowe’s (3 1/2 Star) review of MJ’s Bakery Café on May 28, 2009 in their previous location on Combee Road. Read the original review here.

The real estate world’s loss is the restaurant world’s gain.

Henry Quintana and his wife, Mary Jo, came here from Miami and, thanks to the economy, what they intended to do didn’t happen. Instead, they took over the closed restaurant on Combee Road that was Sophia’s and turned it into MJ’s Bakery Cafe opening the doors in early April.

Hours have changed, as has the “bakery” name, but Mary Jo still makes the desserts and Henry still runs the kitchen. Be sure to stop by for a daily special or just a Cafe con Leche or Cuban latte.

Monday – Thursday, 11 a.m. – 6:30 p.m. | Friday, 11 a.m. – 7:30 p.m.

Or, until the last guest leaves!
