Publix

This store has some of the best employees in any store I have shopped at… super friendly and super helpful… great selection of anything you need…

I lived down in Anderson, SC for two months, Publix was the place that I went to get my groceries. I had to get used to calling the carts «buggies» and I had to get used to the sweet Southern hospitality where the employees helped walk your full buggy to your car and even put your groceries in your trunk! I know what you other Northerners are thinking, «WHAT?! You mean they don’t just drop their cart in an empty parking spot and drive off?»…Nope. This place felt nice, clean, and so sweet your teeth would ache! Definitely the go-​to grocery store of Anderson.

First I have to say that many MANY years ago (in the dark ages, when I was a teenager) I worked for Publix in South Florida.
When I moved to north Georgia in 1991, there was no Publix — and no grocery store run like them.
I was *thrilled* when Publix finally started coming into Georgia, and now that I live so close to Anderson, SC, glad that they are here too.
The store is *always* clean. I have several grocery stores much closer to where I live, but I travel the 28 miles (one way!) to Publix for most of my grocery shopping.
My main reason for shopping today was for deli lunch meat. It’s always so fresh, well sliced, and nicely packaged it lasts me for the almost 2 weeks of lunches I need it for.
There were 3 folks working in the deli tonight, each of them friendly and helpful. I had a large order (6 different meats/​cheeses sliced different ways) but it was handled with a smile and packed very well.
The meat counter is always very nicely arranged, very clean, and quite well stocked. Publix is the only place I will buy ground meat and just about the only place I get meat at all.
You know how when you walk into some grocery stores they have that «smell»? Publix doesn’t. Their produce, meat, dairy, and seafood departments are *always* very clean and organized.
It’s nice to know that the company still keeps up with the same standards that were drilled into us as teenagers so long ago.
Checkout was a breeze.
One cashier unloaded for me, one rang up the groceries, and one nice young man bagged things up.
We live quite a ways from the store, and the weather is warm, so we put perishables in coolers when we get to the car.
The bagger had my cold things all together! I know that sounds trivial — but I have been to other grocery stores where they would put meat with laundry detergent and the like — this was done *correctly*.
All in all, this is my favorite grocery store to shop at. I just wish one was closer!

The nice lady at the Deli counter was the bomb! She treated me like I was her favorite grandchild. She made my sub just right and my starving, tired from traveling all day self was grateful. Very nice store!

The best grocery store in Anderson by far. Clean, well-​organized, extremely nice staff and good prices as long as you shop smart.

I really like this grocery chain. Have been shopping there for many years so when I moved here from S. FL I was very pleased to find one in Anderson. I was, however, dissapointed when they did not carry one of my favorite items soooooo I sent an email. I really did not expect a responce and was happily surprised to receive first a responce and then a call from the store manager. He told me he would stock the item and it should on the shelf in about 2 weeks. If it sold fairly well he would continue to reorder it… Well I went and purchased a couple of them and hopefully others will like it also. Yeah for Publix…
