Publix

This review is for Publix store #44 located in the popular Tropicaire Shopping Center on SW 40^th St at SR 826. This is the same shopping center as Target, American Signature Furniture, and Best Buy. When we visit Miami, this is one of two Publix stores we frequent. The other is a Publix Sabor a couple miles north on SW 24^th St. (We’ve gone to that one more.)
We visited Publix twice over Thanksgiving week to stock our fridge and cabinets at the villas with various food and snacks. We purchased bananas, tangerines, avocados, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, bagged salads, onions, dressing, deli meat, high-​protein wraps, oatmeal, granola bars, milk, Snapea Crisps, cookies from the bakery, and more. Everything was good. The produce was fresh. My mom and niece really enjoyed the avocados and tomatoes (eaten raw), sweet potatoes (cooked), and oatmeal. My sister made delicious and healthy wraps to eat at home. My dad and I took the bananas and granola bars out on the golf course to refuel. I ate the tangerines after our rounds when we would get back or after meals. They were sweet, juicy, and refreshing.
This is a big and spacious Publix store which was quite busy during our weeknight visit. Every department, including the deli and pharmacy, seemed to have its hands full (but not overwhelmed). The employees we encountered in produce and at checkout were helpful and polite. The store was clean and well stocked. It was easy to navigate and find what we needed and we were in and out in about 20 – 25 minutes. Parking wasn’t an issue either.
All in all, this is an A-​OK Publix.
