I love the new Publix. Went today, Monday, about 11:00am and it was not crowded. I love the lay out which is much similar to what I am used to before Colony. The meats are easier to see as the display shelves are angled so you can see all the way to the back of each shelf without having to dig through everything to see what is available. The store may be a bit smaller but what the heck it has everything any other Publix has. I'm a Publix shopper from way back(first grocery shopping experience I remember was one in College Park(Orlando) and I've been hooked everysince. We got what we asked for ---a Publix closer to Brownwood.

This is a great new addition to our community. Publix goes beyound the call of duty.

I don't think much is better back up north. It's easier living here for the retired and the weather, at least during the winter, is far better, but the food prices are generally lower in the north. This is not new. My folks had the same comments when we lived in Florida for a short time when I was a little fellow.
