I shopped at my local Lucky's today and can say without a doubt no comparison to a Publix. Lucky's is fine for a few items

Curious as to the differences - have never shopped there but am interested in your experience.

For all you Southern Oaks (South of 44) Pioneers!....
A Lucky's Grocery Store is coming to Magnolia Plaza (next to Everglades Regional Recreation Center!)

Maybe the source at the pool got the location wrong.

Maybe Lucky's is the "mystery grocery store" which will be built in Trailwinds Village.

The plans to build a grocery store there have been announced. For some unknown reason, the grocer has not yet been publicly identified - very unusual.

Now, I have seen the plans and Publix is clearly shown on them ... but, but, but maybe it's a clever deception!?!

Queue the black helicopter!

Does it mean the animals volunteer to be slaughtered?

Making reference to "humanely-treated meat," I'm sure they aren't referring to steak but rather something like veal.

Do you know what they do to calves so the public can have veal?
Okay -- I'll tell you . . .

The calves are taken away from their mother at about 3-weeks old. They are placed in a pen where they are not able to move so that they do not gain any muscle tone. And with it all, they live that way in complete darkness until they go to slaughter.

Hungry?

For a second there I thought you were referring to Lucky Supermarkets, a chain in Northern California that is not high end, but tends to be known for sticky stores where you need to check expiration dates before buying.

Lucky’s, based in Colorado, sounds much better.

Won't eat veal since I found out what the calf is subjected to. Never even thought about Pate Fois Gras since it was a $25 appetizer. Looked it up now and wouldn't eat it for free.

Totally wrong! Fake! First, veal calfs are dairy calfs. All calfs born to dairy cows are taken away after birth and never left to nurse, otherwise, the mother would not take to a milking machine. All milk is given to the calf by bottle. Calfs are in a pin with plenty of room, sunlight and ventalation. They also have access to a field, weather permitting. Just memember, farmers love their animals. I don't know where you get your information but it is wrong.
