Publix Supermarket

Clean. Wide and uncluttered aisles. Good selections. But most importantly, they have the most amazing customer service!

Going south on highway 41, this shopping center sits atop a hill commanding attention. Publix has a reputation of building great stores and this is no exception.
Easy to get in and out as one entrance is not on the main highway. People wanting to turn left don’t hold up the main traffic. People wanting to get onto the main road don’t wait forever for a chance.
Just visited this store for the first time last week. Smaller sized shopping center, some of the stores are still vacant but other smaller stores are filled and I saw one store in the process of moving in. This is in contrast to two shopping centers up the road that are either totally or mainly empty.
The problem with many stores is either it’s not bright enough and you have to literally bring your own flashlight if you visit in the middle of the day or afternoon, especially during the week, or it’s very bright with glaring lights. I am happy to say that this store is very bright, I don’t need a flashlight but the light is not a bit harsh. And, guess what, the universal law that people meet coming in and going out, blocking the door must not apply here. There were three people standing and visiting when I went in and were still at it when I left. But, they were in a front area of the store and in no one’s way.
As with most Publix (is the plural Publix, Publixi or Publixus?), if you’re looking for a particular item, they likely have it. However, in my case, they didn’t have what I was looking for and specifically came into the store for. I was looking for Kretschmer wheat germ honey crunch style wheat germ. They had the original style but not this other which is a little more nutty in flavor. Great for breakfast as an added topping to oatmeal or cereal. Very healthy, too. As I don’t often shop in Warner Robbins, I didn’t ask if the store could stock it. I did look it up to find that the product is still produced by the company. I have no doubt that if I’d asked, they would have made every effort to stock for me.
Produce is very fresh. Great selection of breads, seemed like a smaller display of seafood, though. Large store and Publix, it’s been my experience, keeps their stores well stocked.
All this does come at a price. Unfortunately, I’ve found Publix to be one of the pricier stores in the area. When store A carries the same brand produce for $ 2.13 for that week and Publix has it for $ 6.99, I can’t justify doing a one-​stop, one-​shop when I know other items are going to generally be markedly higher, too. That wheat germ is maybe two bucks more than at another store. Couple that with the rest of the shopping and it all adds up very quickly.
But, you do get what you pay for. The staff is very friendly, will often greet you if you’re walking down the aisle and you don’t wait all day in line to check out.
While the center is very nice and fairly new, I do see signs of deterioration that in a year or two will need to be addressed. They’ve used wooden porch type posts that have been made. Nothing wrong with that but they are so poorly put together that the paint couldn’t seal the cracks where the different pieces of wood meet. And, it looked like the drain pipes when through these posts. All this can make for rotten wood and deterioration in the overall appearance of the exterior.
While I don’t always shop Publix, I have to hand it to them for their excellent service, great selection and keeping the lights on during the day, unlike some of their competitors.

Excellent customer service consistently. You don’t come here because the have the cheapest prices. You come here because you except to valued as a customer. The floors are clean. The shopping carts don’t have the wrong wheel hop thing. The staff is amazing.

Publix is the best supermarket in the area. It is always a pleasurable shopping experience when I go there. The store is immaculate and the employees are the best. Btw… the fried chicken wings are delish!
