Like I said, it wasn't the store specials or BogoS that people were complaining about the Colony Publix being out of. it was their general merchandise that they were running out of during the winter season, and a store manager was quoted as saying they would not adjust their volume for the winter season... which I'm not sure I believe because that just makes no financial sense whatever.

But if you go shopping there because you need items and the stock's not there, that's not a good thing.

I really like the Publix at SS and wish the one at Colony were as spacious. I would brave that parking lot if it were. But I'm happy Sweetbay-turned-Winn Dixie is there, and I will gladly support it.
