Publix

Unfortunately if you grew up with family members who like to vacation on Singer Island, this was your publix. Not going to lie, maybe living in the US Kroger headquarters has spoiled me on what a grocery store should be, but this one isn’t on par. I know the area has a huge divide of tourists vs the lower income communities in Riveria Beach, but there were just some basic things that irked me about shopping here.
1. No produce bags. There was not a rack that had them anywhere. I literally pushed my shopping cart with one hand and held 3 kiwis in the other.
2. Candy is stale. I love to treat myself to fun snacks on vacation and clearly the Riveria Beach local crowd doesn’t like candy because the sour patch packs I purchased were rock hard stale.
3. Selection could have been better. This could definitely come from being used to enormous Kroger stores back home but I just felt the variety was lacking.
4. It’s just clearly very old and run down.
The cashier we had last night specifically was super friendly, which is a nice end note considering you don’t normally expect good service at a grocery store.
Pro tip– If you’ve never been here before you’ll notice there is no lot. They have their own parking garage above the store. They have shopping cart escalators don’t worry – to help with convenient transport of groceries to your car!

Used the online ordering system 3 times at this location. All 3 times I’ve had to go to the deli because the orders have never been ready on time. What’s the point of setting up a pick up time if it’s never ready?

Whenever I visit Singer Island this is the go to grocery store. I recently had a great experience buying steaks and lobster for New Years Eve supper. The guys in the seafood section are super attentive and can give you tips on how to prep your meal.
In other parts of the store the staff will always greet you and make sure you find what you’re looking for. Definitely stop by if you’re in the area.

I don’t love grocery shopping, but this Publixmakes it a pleasure. Freshest seafood and meats, good selection of fresh produce, and the nicest staff of people.

This is a great Publix close the beach. We stop in for last minute items on our way to Oceana Palms for the weekend. Clean, well lit parking garage.

Parking is pretty much unavailable if your vehicle is over 8’2. Which my truck with my canopy on is. So I had to park across the street and walk which was super inconvenient. Thank goodness I didn’t need much. The store itself is nice and clean with friendly staff and good fresh organic selections.

Thank the Universe this store has arrived and is now OPEN !
I first thought it would feel unsafe to shop here, due to the areas just up the road but it’s very clean, very safe, and very nice inside and out. Now I don’t have to run to that stink hole grocery on the island, that really should be closed for the rotting stench it protrudes. (see my other reviews)
For everyone on the ‘Island’ this is the easiest store to get to.
Raining? Not a problem.
The garage leads you directly to the upstairs entrance where there are elevators waiting for you.
The whee-​happy escalator takes your cart up or down for you as well.

This new Publix is good. Ample parking via a parking garage is available. Helpful and friendly associates (though some are a bit overzealous, hehe) are on ever aisle to answer questions. Some areas of the store feel congested (with products) despite its rather large square footage. However, the deli is the best part of the store with friendly people and sometimes available specials. Checkout is quick considering many registers are often open. Overall, a pretty good branch of Publix… not the best but not the worst by far.
