    Item 1. Security and Issuer.

            This Amendment  No. 11  to Schedule  13D is filed  on behalf  of
    American  Financial   Group,   Inc.  ("American   Financial"),   American
    Financial Corporation ("AFC"),  and Carl H. Lindner, Carl H. Lindner III,
    S.  Craig  Lindner  and  Keith  E.  Lindner (collectively,  the  "Lindner
    Family")   (American  Financial,   AFC  and   the   Lindner  Family   are
    collectively referred  to  as  the "Reporting  Persons"),  to  amend  and
    update the Schedule 13D most  recently amended on June 20, 1995, relative
    to  the Common  Stock, par  value $.10  per share  ("SJS Common  Stock"),
    issued by Sunshine-Jr. Stores, Inc. ("SJS").  Items not  included in this
    amendment are either not amended or are not applicable.

            Following  the  transaction  described  in  Item 4  hereof,  the
    Reporting Persons no longer  beneficially own five percent  or more of  a
    class of SJS  equity voting securities.  Consequently, no further filings
    on Schedule 13D will be made unless such ownership level is exceeded.

    Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

            On July 26, 1995, the Reporting Persons sold all 349,600  shares
    of  SJS Common Stock  beneficially owned by them  to a  subsidiary of E-Z
    Serve  Corp. for  $12  per share  pursuant  to a  Shareholders' Agreement
    dated as of June 15, 1995. 

    Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

            Following  the  transaction  described  in  Item 4  hereof,  the
    Reporting Persons  no longer  beneficially  owned any  SJS equity  voting
    securities.

            Except as set  forth above, to the best  knowledge and belief of
    the undersigned, no  transactions involving  SJS Common  Stock have  been
    effected during the past  60 days by the Reporting Persons or by American
    Financial's or AFC's directors or executive officers.
