Default New Publix

What does everyone think of the new Publix? We went today and it was not crowded. It is smaller than Colony (our regular store) which seemed to have necessitated many things be in miniature (bakery, produce, certain grocery categories etc) They layout is similar to Colony, but, again, being smaller, some items have been relocated. The staff, as usual, were very nice. We will probably stick with Colony.

(I started this thread to provide a spot to talk the store rather than free bags)

Regardless of what Public would build, posters on TOTV will find fault. They wanted another store now they got one.....................but

Haven't been there, yet, but expect to stop by after one of my workouts at MVP. It will be very convenient to the gym.

we had a Publix near where I used to live we used to call "the little Publix". It was my preferred store to use. I could do my shopping really quickly because it was smaller.

Very nice store - and service excellent. Too early for me but the $1.00 Boar's Head hot dog and soft drink special today looked appealing if you like that sorta thing.

Devoted publix fan, floridian. If you do not see the difference, you may be blinded by small expectations of customer service and not using what is available.
Employee owned? Is it?
Forbes:
Publix Super Markets is the largest employee-owned supermarket chain in the U.S. Founded in 1930 by George W Jenkins, Publix operates 1,080 retail food supermarkets throughout Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama and Tennessee. CEO Ed Crenshaw is the grandson of the founder and the fourth family member to lead the company.

Went there yesterday and was once again impressed with Publix. As usual I went in for 3 items and walked out with 3 bags!

We've been waiting for three years for this store to open. Our prayers have been answered. Now all we need is a Bealls Outlet store next door ;-)

Love the new store. So convenient. We attended church (meeting at Eisenhower) and went to Publix for the $1 dog and drink (my husband and I live that sort of thing). That, combined with this beautiful weather, has made today a wonderful day.

BUT... The one at Colony could fit into a shoebox compared to the others farther north. I was hoping for a bigger Publix than Colony. You know, where two people with carts can actually navigate through the produce section while other shoppers are legitimately standing around while making up their mind what they want.
