Publix

Not all Publix are created equal. And this one at Boot Ranch Plaza is top of the line. A very organized store equipped with efficient staffs, who are always pleased to help, keeps loyal customers like me coming back. This Publix has been my go-​to-​grocery store for the last 4 years, and I feel lucky to have it nearby.
What impressed me the most is their management team. They make the store tick. I often see manager and assistants working along with their staffs, making sure no rotted vegetable sitting on shelves or items tout of stocks. Staffs do their job well and always happy to assist their customers. Publix offers jobs to the disabled individuals. They work at the check out and help carry bags for customers. They maybe slow, but they get their job done. The lower staff turn over rate at this Publix is an good indicator to assess how they run the business.
There are many sales going on every day. The discount rate are impressive, ten percent are the minimum. Since I shop fresh vegetable everyday (it is a Chinese thing), I have saved good money by buying fresh food at discount price. Weekend has less sales items, but Tuesday and Thursday are the best day to go for discount items. Furthermore, Walmart neighbor market cross the street will open for business very soon. Publix are very good at cutting their price to compete with competitors. They did it well couple years ago to Sweetbay supermarket. Save money is a good thing.
Make sure you buy some fresh made sushi rolls when you are there. That sweet Asian staff makes awesome sushi roll. Although his sushi looks similar to those at other Publix locations, but he does right making the sushi rice, which is the main ingredients of any sushi. The firmness of the rice, the amount of sweetened vinegar are keys to flavor and balance the rolls.
I only give 4 star because I haven’t win any lottery at this Publix. Oh well, I guess I can’t get it all.

I just wish we had a Publix in Manchester. Publix is a very good grocery store

I LOVE MY PUBLIX STORE! Yes I say «my» because I feel like they know me and when they smile or greet me it’s as if they do. Maybe they really do since I kinda live there with two growing boys to feed!
There isn’t one thing about this store that I don’t like. Let’s start with the produce: It’s always fresh, green, no rotten veggies or fruit, no out if dates produce or products. Fresh and clean! Fresh Bread: Oh my if you go early enough you can smell the delicious bread that was baked that morning. The bread is never stale, never left over and always very good. Deli: The actual deli staff has always been so friendly and eager to help. I’ve never had any issues and their sandwiches are incredible! Meat&Fish: FRESH FRESH FRESH!!! Honestly I’ve never seen out to date, brown or odorous meats or fish. The staff in the butcher area are nice and will cut anything you like or make things like meatballs for you. Just ask! The rest of the store is well organized and easy to shop in. Dairy: always well stocked! Never over due items and they are always restocking. They have some awesome BOGO deals!!!
I love my PUBLIX! Can you tell???

Very well maintained store with a staff that will go out of their way for you to ensure you get what you need. Store is well stocked and if they don’t have it then they will order it for you. Parking lot is the only real issue I have with this store as it can be a pain to find a spot. They also have good deals on food with weekly bogo deals and discounts.

Publix is an excellent supermarket, but their fruit department is an abomination I just moved here 2 weeks ago and have thrown away 2 strawberry and 1 blueberry container after 1 day in the fridge. Their fruit goes bad so quickly. I’m just so tired of throwing away money. Also it’s hit or miss with the raspberries. Their bananas and apples are fine. Sorry Publix I’m just speaking the truth

What Publix wouldn’t get 5 stars? There are very few! Great store and may I add that this location is huge? Abnormally large for a Publix and I can’t tell if they have more product in this space or it’s just extra room to push the magnificent Publix cart. Either way, great store!

Any Publix is out of this world compared to any other store is shop at. The produce is always fresh and well taken care of. Deli has some of the best meat and cheeses around this town. I personally love their sandwiches and chicken there. Enjoy first class shopping.

This Publix is one of the best I’ve been to. Their décor is always aligned with the seasons and holidays. Just to drive that point home, go check it out around Halloween. This year they erected a giant «tree» right at the entrance of the produce section surrounded by a plentiful pumpkin patch (and let me tell you, some of those pumpkins were HUGE!).
Aside from their visual appeal, this Publix also packs a punch with their customer service. These people really want to be here! The individual departments are happy to help, consistently keeping their goods stocked, and the cashiers are just as pleasantly dispositioned on your way through the check out line.
All around, the Boot Ranch Publix is the place to go if you are looking for quality groceries and service.
Pros: Fresh fried chicken, the friendly cashiers who always make it a point to make small talk, the bakery clerks who never get an attitude when my son asks for a cookie
Cons: Outside of the store it’s like motor derby. It’s a very congested parking lot and the drivers are pretty aggressive as a result. I don’t feel very safe. I don’t blame this on the store but it takes away from the appeal just a little.

In general, Publix never lets me down. I really like this location at Boot Ranch though! The layout is spacious and the shelves are always stocked well/​organized. The staff is always asking me if there is anything they can help me find, and I love that if a BOGO isn’t available on the shelves, I can get a rain check… and if there is an item they don’t carry you just need to ask and they’ll order it special for you!

This Publix store is one of my two go-​to grocers since moving to North Pinellas. This is one of their large store locations, so inventory is very complete. The service here has always been excellent, with the folks working the aisles always willing to take you directly to what you’re looking for instead of the usual «aisle 11» answers you get at most other grocers. And as usual for most Publix, their deli serves up great subs with Boars Head choices available.
While there are better butcher and seafood selections at some of the small specialty grocers in the area, Publix always seems to deliver the right mix of quality, selection, service and value for most of my needs.
