I was there because I got up and remembered it was to open. I was there at 7 ( too early) so I left went for breakfast and came back. They promised 500 bags but it looked like they gave out more. I was wondering if they could have given out coupons in the line for the bags and control it that way.

Just seems like feeding frenzy today. My wife wanted to buy some groceries but I thought the lines would be too long to check out but glad to hear they were not. The sample were pretty good.

Wegmans is one of the most exciting stores I have ever been in and if they came to Florida it would upset the Apple cart. Surprised to hear Publix will build at Mores and 44.

Lots of truthful comments here..

Win Dixie... not too truthful on their 2 for 1 sales.. was much better as Sweet Bay

Have not been to the new Publix but sounds wonderful (except for a number of rudies) I suppose stupid has no expiration date.

I think its a nice store to be added on the South End...

Now come on Publix lets keep this a nice store and that goes for your
sometimes more than needed in-flated prices.. but at least your 2 for 1 sales are honest.. (can you hear Win Dixie?)

Villagers come on lets do your part and act your ages.. keep The Village's
reputation up... its been going down hill in certain areas.. the news is reaching out of our towns and even the State of Florida..

We are all here for the best time we have left... don't ruin my time, please!

If a store in TV had a sign that said "Free Cow Pies", there would be a line around the block and people demanding rain checks. I have never seen the like of some of the greedy people here. Sad indeed.....

Anybody from Wisconsin knows how good these are:

For years I've been reading about rude behavior on this forum. I arrived a month ago and have been all over TV and have not experienced it any where. I was at Publix today and it's amazing the results one can get from a simple hello, a smile, and patience.

I agree it's a nice store and it's only 2 minutes from Brownwood. How convenient!

You can count on it like the sun coming up in the morning!!

We avoid ANY venues in TV where there is a free anything.

My sentiments also. Even if it's not needed by these entitled, inconsiderate , ess o bees they take it so no one else can have it.

It is not just here. It is a way of life in the US. Little wonder why the rest of the world hates ugly Americans.

We also went today, about 10:30 - to kill time while our pup was being groomed.

When checking out and yapping with the checkout gal, she said another Publix is being built (as mentioned by a poster here) down about 2 miles east on 44 & morse. We saw a lot of building going on there the last few weeks. The LAST thing I would have guessed was another Publix. I know,, the growth...but. Sure would be nice to have more variety. End of comment- enough of that on other Threads on this topic.

I have to agree with you and I'm glad you said it, not me.
Had I said it, I would have been blasted . . . for a change!
Not only selfish, but rude, as well.
Thankfully, there are enough nice people to offset some of the madness.

The reason for another Publix is that is what the corporate office of Publix deemed would be a successful venture based on the increase of population.

Those decisions are not made by us wishing for it or the developer asking for it.

I wonder how much money Homegoods lost by not realizing how many new homes were being built and decorated each week??

The demographers who give information to expanding businesses are snoozing.

Hey Graciegirl, how about a Jungle Jim's! That was always a whole day adventure.

That doesn't make a lot of sense being about a mile away....but we will see

I came from a place that had three Publix stores within 2-3 miles of each other all did well

I assume that all these Plazas are located on TV/Morse-owned property thruout TV. Seems as if the multiples of specific food/retail/restaurant have an-almost monopoly of these locations. Or there is $ kickback to the Developer for the locations. Not to be a broken record, said many times here...sure would be nice to have variety nearby - esp in the newly built areas of TV. These plazas tend to be mirror yadas.
Yes Gracie - a Homegoods or such...would mint money here.
