I go to Colony Publix at 7 or 8 a.m. Any other time can't even find a parking spot. It's only Jan - April that it's like this, in summer it's almost empty. We may have to wait 2 years for another Publix south of 466A, who knows?

Colony Publix is generally very busy from around 10 until supper-time. Go early or a bit later in the day otherwise shop "off campus" or at one of the other grocery stores in T.V. The Colony Publix, in my opinion, seems a bit smaller than the ones in Southern Trace and SS. Those can be busy, but not as jammed with shoppers as Colony. We also do some shopping at Aldi's, Sam's and occassionally at Walmart.

Colony shopping center will be busy/crowded as long as they keep building south of 466a AND don't get busy building more commerce down there. We weren't here when LSL was being built so not sure if it was the same when the 1st began building south of 466.

I go to Colony Plaza at all times of day or evening.....I always find a spot to park, not right up close, maybe, but it's not that bad. The spots for the handicapped are usually occupied, but we sometimes even find them open.

Publix, like so many things "locked" up within TV, needs simply competition, hence the better deals are from retailers and services from off TV residential/commercial development.
