Publix Super Markets

Great store friendly staff and a hugenorous selection. I’m a big fan of the deli sandwiches and the bakery.
Flyers come out every Tuesday with new sales and BOGO’s (buy one get on free)
Publix has great customer service and will walk you to an item you need match coupons and go the extra mile to keep you happy.

It’s a Publix, so I expect it to be expensive, but what I’m not used to is the complete absence of cart-​return stations in the parking lot. As a result, the parking lot is littered with carts, inevitably in the best parking spots.

The pharmacy staff is wonderful, and Jony is the best submaker that side of Hogan’s!

I love this Publix. I don’t know why. The Publix on 39^th is a whole lot closer to me but I’d rather shop at this location. The vibe is better, the staff is friendlier, and I just feel a whole lot better in it. Call me weird.

It’s a publix, so you know there are going to be great deals and a good selection of items. This one tends to get really busy, so I try to avoid it during the after work rush, but otherwise its awesome!

Clean place, but too expensive.

Ok, my guilty Unilocal pleasure is clearly writing contradictory reviews after I see one that I find just enormously stupid. So here we go!
A great store gets 1 star because it’s too expensive? Expensive if you make less than minimum wage and have 7 children perhaps. Funny enough, it’s not always more expensive. We made the drive over to… gulp, Winn dixie, recently because they had some really awesome deals on meat, so we stocked the deep freezer with some ribs and pork butt for a party. So after cruising down a few other isles to just save a trip to Publix, we discovered that many of the items we were going to buy were noticeably more expensive at WD than Publix.
So, in Gainesville you basically have 3 real choices:
Publix — Clean, convenient locations, some good prices, BOGO’s are usually solid, and a great deli.
Winn Dixie — 2 locations, both on Main St. Both dirty, scuzzy, and given the shoppers there are generally low class, it’s clear they don’t care about keeping up appearances. But they do occasionally have great deals on meat.
Super Wal-​Mart — Drive all the way to Waldo Rd. Good prices (usually). Most annoying and inconsiderate customers on the face of the earth. The worst checkout experience ever, as every cashier is barely literate and slow as hell. And they only open 2 or 3 checkout lanes no matter how many people are waiting. Their produce sucks and their meat is a little creepy.
This is just a no brainer.

This review is specifically for the pharmacy. The staff here is wonderful and really care about their patients. Chris Fuller (pharmacy manager) is the glue & backbone that makes this place exceptional! I pass 4 other pharmacies to come here/​it’s just that good!
