But until they can meet the selection and quality of Publix they are beating their head against a wall. When I couldn't find a box of frozen spinach I told my husband if they offered me free food I will never go back to SweetBay.
gomoho, the reason Sweetbay is running out of stock is because they are about to be changed over to a Winn Dixie, I think around March. (Winn Dixie bought Swetbay around October.) I believe they are running certain stock out, especially brands and items that Sweetbay stocked that Winn Dixie does not. Although you'd think they would have frozen spinach!

They didn't even have any Valentine cards, and their card shelves were nearly empty (except for leftover Christmas cards). Obviously whoever supplies Winn Dixie with cards is not the same company that stocked Sweetbay.

And BTW, Publix is honoring Sweetbay's $10 coupon.
