One of the newest Publix in the area. Store is always clean and tidy. And the staff is nice and attentive. Deli sandwiches and food are excellent. With a bit of everything you may need is definitely my to go store. Yes, I know people often say their prices are a bit higher than other markets but my suggestion is that you download their app and take advantage of their Bogo, digital coupons and extra savings deals and at the end you will be saving more than going to other markets. For sure!
This is a nice Publix. It is new-ish.
And is set up a bit differently than usual. The "sub shop" is close to the front entrance rather than at the back of the store like the usual Publix. Maybe this is because they know their subs are delicious and profitable! 😀
We ordered a Publix cake and a tray of sandwiches from here and everything was amazing and easy from point of order to pickup. I'm very appreciative. The food was excellent. And best part was that my guests were very happy at our daughter's birthday . The staff was super friendly and they even had my food ready for pickup at the front counter. Great job guys! !
There was only one worker at the deli making sandwiches. She decides to leave and tells another worker to please take care of the 3 people standing in line. He never stopped what he was doing. We were just standing there waiting and waiting. As a Publix employee walked by, I asked him if he was a manager. I told him that I’ve never been to a Publix where workers walk off and leave customers standing there. As I was speaking to him, the male deli worker decides to “take our order.” The problem was that he had such a bad attitude that he was roughly making my sandwiches. He even did a whole sub when I asked for a 6-inch. He slammed the bread toaster door. I’m not sure why he was so angry about me asking why no one was at the deli to take care of the order. I’ve never seen this behavior in any other Publix I’ve ever been to before. Grant it, I spoke to the deli manager and she said she will speak to him. I hope she does, because shopping was not a pleasure for me today at that Publix.
Publix has really hit the mark on modernizing their stores with this latest design. This is not their biggest store footprint, but it sure gives that feeling. From the moment you walk in, you'll notice a few bold changes, one is even a throwback to older store designs. That one is at the entrance where you have a full indoor pass through cart storage between the entrance and exit sides. Not a big deal except that carts are not stored in plain view of the parking lot, so the appearance is nice. Inside the store the first bold statement comes from the Deli Island to the right in front of the produce section. This 3 sided island separates the custom sandwich orders from the deli meats and cheese orders providing a less confusing setting than the side by side model used for many decades. There is even a very large "Grab and Go" section - a testament to current consumer demands. I was most impressed with their fresh Popcorn station being front and center with recently popped bags right there ready for the picking. With the Pandemic, movie theaters were shut down and so was movie theater popcorn. Publix came to the rescue rolling out fresh made popcorn at many of their stores and now they've moved it from the back of house to the front for all to see how fresh it is. Honestly, theirs is better than what the theaters pop anyway and only $1.99 for a XL sized bag.
Moving on, the produce section is very well laid out and has more choices than a larger footprint store has to offer. The meat and seafood sections are also well appointed with their updated modern look and Signage but the display of the meats and seafood didn't need any update, so Publix kept what works here.
The aisles might be a little narrower than larger footprint stores, but that's fine with me, wide aisles were never necessary as the lighting is great throughout, and passing other shoppers is easy.
The bakery is at the far back left corner and it's design gives it the feel of a store within a store. It's also a fresh modern design and a well needed change.
The pharmacy was a surprise to me as well, considering I'm used to Publix pharmacy being basically a window with some "pharmacy" items on shelves out in front. This Publix Pharmacy counter design looks very similar to the CVS Pharmacy counter that is located in the same plaza. In other words, very professional and complete.
The men's room (and I imagine the ladies too). Minor point, but still appreciated. This Publix has done an excellent job modernizing the look of the men's room. Very clean and well lit and keeping with the stores asthetics.
Approaching checkout I noticed a second story loft overlooking the store, only to discover they have placed a dining area upstairs that overlooks the store and the front
parking lot (which is landscaped and looks good too). I didn't go up there on this trip but next time I'll plan to grab a deli sub and dine upstairs BEFORE shopping. Publix should make some bold floor level signs letting shoppers know about that dining area. Maybe encourage shoppers to grab a Deli or Grab and Go bite before doing their shopping and dining upstairs. Hmm.
Finally, as many Publix stores have begun to do, this store has Self Checkout lanes. Personally, I like the speed they seem to allow me to move at with more than 10 items, but not a completely full cart.
Publix has done a great redesign here that is reminiscent of stores in the Northeast and in Europe. They could further maximize this design by making a second floor around the entire perimeter of the store and save on ground floor footage while expanding their footprint. I've seen that design in Europe and Latin America and by placing some services and product categories on that level, they can increase their profits by providing complete larger store product lines and amenities in a smaller store footprint. With this new store design, Publix could really make that work as well!
very nice store. i would’ve given this store 5 stars but their watermelon is terrible! it’s either too watery or too old. i spent my hard earned $10 on rotten watermelon here and I am pissed! other than that, great store with very attractive managers!😁
This location is clean... but once you put on your gloves to make the subs be careful of what you touch the employee kept touching her nose I had to walkout
Publix knocked it out of the park with this location. I especially enjoy the 2nd floor dining area. The entire store is Clean, spacious and fully equipped. Top notch experience every time I shop there.
