Whoever posted they have decided where the new publix is going and have started construction, please stop and tell the manager of the the publix in colony. I work there and asked him today and he said he hasn't heard a word about it.

OP, I've not seen on TOTV exactly where Publix is going to build---just a rumor that somewhere down around Brownwood. I could have missed the post too.

It would make sense that they would build another store---the colony Publix is so busy that some are making an effort to go elsewhere even though Colony might be closer.

Ask the cashiers - they know - I think he was pulling your leg.

Check out the plans for Grand Traverse Plaza at Brownwood. They even have the sign design with Publix taking up half of the sign. The Bids were needed to have been submitted by last week.

Good Detective work Papa! Think you are right...checked out the link you provided and sure looks like could be a Publix! Hurrah for Traverse Plaza!

[ROCKETMAN]

Maybe because it hasnt been published in the sun yet he is not supposed to comment or possibly final paerwork is not done.

Again, I think he was pulling someone's leg.

From the looks of the plans published for bid purposes posted by Papa above, it looks like the Colony Publix manager may have reached his level of competency with managing the stocking of shelves and creation of work schedules.

One down. One to go. Costco is next.

Making sure shelves are properly stocked and creating work schedules are the responsibility of a grocery store manager. Site selection is the responsibilty of a whole different department.

Why is Publix so popular? We like Publix but just wondering why?

I like Publix for a lot of reasons....always friendly staff, excellent return policy, well stocked and good selection, great pharmacy, and more, but my favorite is they are a FL company and carry a lot of local, FL produce! My pet peeve with them is they recently incorporated the organic produce into the conventional displays. It used to be easy to just go to the organic section and shop from there. Now you have to go up and down all the produce aisles and find the organic.

Good selection, competitively priced (against other large grocery only chains), I generally like the layout (set) of the store (although the reset of Mulberry stinks!!), clean and well lighted .... a big deal for me is that the deli and bakery depts are much, much better that WD, Sweetbay, Albertsons (although I think they are all gone in Fla now) and Wallyworld ..... only Fresh Market comes close to Publix's deli & bakery.
