Publix Supermarket

Great pharmacy, good selection of meats, produce and beers.

I like this location. Like the others, always neat and clean and have most of what I need. However, lately they’ve been slacking on their customer service, and for that, that’s why they get a 3 star.

Plenty of parking.
Great ADA access.
Employees that are genuinely friendly.
Wide, well-​lighted isles.
Clean restrooms, just to the right; up front.
Repackaging available, upon request!
Senior discount on Wednesdays!
Dreary rainy day. Soooo… may as well hit the grocery task. Been in a ‘food rut’ for a while. Knowing the exact isle/​shelf doesn’t make for a great deal of ‘grocery experimentation’!
I haven’t been a regular shopper here for an extended time frame, and I wouldn’t have made a change if it had not been for my previous grocery stop making a demographic shift in selection and quality. Now I’m wondering why I didn’t make the change AGES ago? Would have avoided the afore-​mentioned ‘food-​rut’!
Publix: The isles are wide, which allows plenty of room for easing past the label-​readers; not quite ‘three-​wide’ — but close. (Think Darlington, not Talladega.)
There’s a wide selection of food and nonfood items, placed in the usual grocery-​grid pattern. Pricing and unit info is well-​placed and easy to read.
Not only will an employee offer directions to an item, they’ll offer to GUIDE you to the item! This is good, ’cause they often mention specials you’ve overlooked. This comment applies to both the golf-​shirted stocker-​sorts, AND the dress-​shirt employees.
About the ‘repackaging’ mentioned above: If you need three steaks and the package has five; NO PROBLEM! They’ll happily repackage the 3 of your choice. Same with veggies!
Wow! This store actually offers decent, freshly prepared sushi! I’m NOT a fan of grocery-​store sushi (generally, it stinks!). I prepared to hold my breath as I walked by, but then I saw the sales counter: «Oh myyy!» Clean-​clean-​clean! Spotless, with a pleasant lady behind the counter who knew her stuff! (Sushi, wasabi, and Kirin on an early autumn afternoon, as I write this review!!!).
Why is it that far too many public businesses treat the human function of visiting the restrooms as an afterthought, or worse, an annoyance? Not so at Publix! They’re in the front, so mommy, daddy, or granddad, can make a quick nappy-​change for the wee-​ones on-​site, rather than driving home! And… Yes, Mr Grocer, even us old codgers need a spot for an occasional «pit-​stop»!
I remember when one walked into the grocer’s –handed a list over the counter, and waited while a clerk pulled the items from the shelves behind the counter. Potatoes still had dirt on them; bananas were cut from a big stalk hanging from the ceiling. Fruits came and went with the seasons. What changes time has wrought!
We live in a wondrous age of grocery goodness, wonderfully exemplified at Publix!

Consistently I find myself visiting Publix when I am looking for obscure or higher-​end items for recipes. The produce department is consistently staffed with knowledgeable people, the service desk and roaming stockers are eager to help, and the cashiers and baggers are top notch for friendliness and efficiency.
The store atmosphere is clean and comfortable, and the pricing is what it is without a bunch of secret codes and sales.

I love Publix! I have shopped in many other grocery stores over my lifetime and I keep coming back to Publix every time.
This particular location is always clean and well-​maintained. The aisles are well lit and it’s easy to find what you’re looking for. I can get through this store and pick up all my groceries in no time. Everything is well laid out and it just makes sense.
I find that the produce is of really high quality. It lasts forever! I have found some real prizes here before, including Hawaiian direct pineapple. They always have a huge selection in their produce aisle too. I like to buy the pre-​cut fruit in the plastic containers. They last forever too and taste delicious!
If you’ve never had a Publix Deli sub, you are missing out. They are far better than anything you might find at a «fire department» or in an «underground train». These things are huge and taste so good. (Helpful tip: they have great Cuban sandwiches… these are pre-​made and usually found in the deli case).
If you like sushi, you’re in luck! Head to the back of the store where Publix employs a sushi chef who makes fresh sushi rolls. I’ve had them a couple times and they rival some of the better sushi restaurants I’ve eaten at!
The best part about Publix? The people. They are always smiling and helpful. Anytime I encounter a Publix employee, they are always smiling and willing to help you find things and answer questions. They will even take your groceries out to your car for you. And no tipping is allowed.
You can bet that Publix is the measuring stick by which I compare all other grocery stores… and I’ll keep coming back here all the time! Their slogan is «Where Shopping is a pleasure…» and they sure live up to it!

There is no other grocery in my area that can touch this one. Our choices are so slim. Everyone grouses about the prices at Publix, but personally I’d rather spend a little more for high quality. Any produce I buy at the only competitors (Bi-​Lo and WalMart) goes bad within a couple of days. Publix’s stays fresh for at least a week. Far less waste = actually saving money. And isn’t it lovely to be greeted by happy Publix employees who actually seem to LIKE their jobs? And are helpful? Guess what? If you don’t find an item you have a hankering for, they will offer to try to get it for you! Now I can buy on a regular basis my favorite San Marzano tomatoes (and and half the price they sell them for at Green Life). Number 1 on my list is Publix, followed by Green Life. Now, if we could only boot out the Soddy Daisy Bi-​Lo and replace it with Publix …
