Sweetbay's produce, bakery and deli products were much better than Publix. This was the one near Lake Sumter Landing. Also, a more manageable store to shop in. The produce managers were also friendly and helpful.

We're familiar with Publix from our last trip to TV plus when we lived in Florida twice many years ago. They are all the same.....Sweetbay is a gem.
I, too, loved Sweetbay when we rented a CYV near LSL. Normally, I hate grocery shopping, and avoid it till I'm really desperate for food. However, I found so many interesting products in that store, that I actually enjoyed shopping there.

I'm building south of 466A, so I would have welcomed a Sweetbay nearby.
