Publix Super Markets

Today I ordered a couple of platters from the deli. I ordered a Publix meat sub platter and a fruit platter. The presentation was gorgeous and the ingredients fresh. This is a great option when you’re having friends over and don’t feel like cooking. A much better option then subway or some of the other chains. The staff was very pleasant, and the store was very clean. A great overall experience.

This chain is usually over staffed and over priced. They’re a monopoly with little competition here locally. Products are good and the store is clean. I have a prescription filled here where walmart has a lower price for the same drug using coupons from
they don’t price match competitors coupons. Service is not the best but typical for Florida.

Their deli has gone way down hill in the past six months. Will not be returning

Been shopping here for years. Love the deli normally today is the exception. I was ignored and the ran at a snails pace. love Carmen unfortunately she wasn’t available.
Watch the dates on dairy and make sure if you buy fruit you look at it really well.
Not sure why the changes but maybe I need to change shopping places

Super friendly, clean store. I purchased a money order for $ 200 and total cost was $ 200.89. Great deal, convenient, and easy. Not to mention produce in this store is the best. Far superior to walmart. Always fresh, a little pricier, but worth it for quality.

I live across the street, so naturally this is very convenient. This Publix has recently gone through an extensive makeover and its fabulous! New additions include self serve soup and fountain drinks by the deli, and re arranged aisles and floral/​bakery depts. I’m in here at least twice a week and the staff is incredibly friendly and always willing to help.
Much like a previous reviewer posted, it is at the end of a strip mall and you have to hack your way past the mass of cars and pedestrians going to Ross and the Dollar Store.
I’m still thankful for my Publix, because I can avoid grocery shopping at the Walmart next door!

This Publix is very clean and the people are very friendly and helpful. What I love best in this store is the bakery! Every morning for breakfast when I am in Cape Coral, I buy the fresh Chicago rolls and they are sooo good.
Publix is a good grocery store. I would shop here on a regular basis if I lived in Florida.

Before I start my rant, I’d like to begin on a positive note. Every single employee that I have come into contact with at this Publix has been nothing but friendly and helpful, and my negative review has absolutely nothing to do with anyone who works at this Publix. In all my travels across the country, Publix is probably my favorite grocery-​store chain. Their Publix-​brand products have all been far superior to any other grocery store chain’s store brand. In fact, I buy Publix-​brand food whenever I can. They also a pretty hefty amount of their own organic line, called Greenwise. And… they carry Boar’s Head brand deli-​meat, which is the best.
Now that we’ve got that out of the way, on to the negative. If you’ve ever had dreams of being run down in a parking lot by the elderly in their too-​big cars, or if you’ve ever wanted to be t-​boned by the Florida masses as they make their obesity-​prone way to McDonald’s, this is the place for you.
To be fair, this Publix is not in a good spot. It’s located at the southern end of a strip mall. To get to the Publix, you need to run the gauntlet past the McDonald’s which shares an entrance with the main entrance. Whose bright idea was that? The traffic going in and out of the McDonald’s at all hours of the day leaves me little hope for society. Seriously, it’s disturbing. And I’m not blaming the patrons of the McDonald’s on the placement of the restaurant (I use that term loosely), but I am blaming them for the seemingly life-​or-​death driving that gets them there.
Once you get past the McDonald’s, you’re into the thick of the parking lot, which is full of people who quite possibly have never learned how to navigate a four-​way stop, or perhaps it’s just that they’ve put in their time yielding to others and just can’t be bothered to do it anymore. Whatever the case, you take your life in your hands in this parking lot. The parking spaces are situated at an angle, but you can drive both up and down the rows, which I always think is a bad idea because it’s hard to see when you’re backing up. Watch where you’re driving, watch where you’re walking, because this parking lot is straight up dangerous.
Then you get inside the Publix, where the idiots in the parking lot have traded their cars in for carts. I wish I could say that you’re safer from the carts than you are from the cars, but I think that would be misleading. Watch yourself, because no one else will be. And Lord help you if you get stuck at the deli counter behind the little old lady who comes in everyday to buy 2 pieces of lunchmeat. That shouldn’t take much time at all, right? Um… perhaps if she didn’t have them adjust the blade 5 times. I don’t bother with the deli department at this location anymore. As Publix stores go, this one is one of the smaller ones, and it really shows. The selection is far more sparing than the other stores. Maybe if you’re not picky about your food (I am) it’s not a big deal. It also seemed more expensive, but I could be mistaken on that one. I know I’m not paying almost $ 6 for Velveeta slices.
So yeah… my most recent visit here was most definitely my last. There is another Publix just north of this one on Pine Island Road that is much bigger and better (and conveniently across the street from the Super Target). I will have to give this particular location some credit for the elderly though… if you are elderly and you can make it through the parking lot, this store is easy to navigate and requires much less walking than some of the bigger stores. Having taken my Grandma grocery shopping in the past, I know how important those smaller grocery stores are for people who don’t get around very well.
