Publix

Very clean went there got sub’s I got the ultimate n wanted mine cut the Caucasian lady understood exactly how I wanted. she was a great access to the company. Great sub’s for the money. n taste delicious. Italian wedding cake the best. ultimate n thechicken tenders are the best.

The seafood is fresh and everything else was good. I think the place is great for any chef to make a great meal!

This is the worst Publix in Naples. It took 20 minutes to make a sandwich and another 20 minutes to check out. They only had 3 cashiers open when the lines were half way down the store. You will have better luck checking out at dollar tree.

Bottom Line: This is what I’ll dub a «Heritage Publix» as it was here when I first moved to Naples in 1983. The reason I’m reviewing it is because I checked in while there earlier this year and rather than cancelling out the review request, I thought it would certainly merit a write-​up, ESPECIALLY given that SWF now has it’s own Unilocal Community Ambassador!
Anyway, — This particular Publix previously had a strong «olé-​school» (read ‘circa 1970s’) appeal. The recent renovations went to great lengths to modernize this store, installing ALL the modern Publix amenities (customer service island, wine racks, etc.) it’s in the strip mall that Golden Gate Parkway T-​bones into. During rain season, expect the lot to be flooded.
I’ve claimed Naples as my primary residence from 1983 through 2002 (albeit with a 3-​year stint in Seattle from 96 – 98 and with both undergrad and grad @ FSU prior to that) and therefore also claim to know this Publix intimately. I’ve watched it grow from the humble Publix that it was to the burgeoning Publix that it is today.
(here’s my moment for tangential information: My FIRST job in the U.S. (we lived abroad from 1969 – 1982) was at the Publix at the corner of the East Trail and Kelly Road (oh, sure, you all know Kelly Road as the uppity-​named «Bayshore Drive» — but I assure you, once Kelly Road, always Kelly Road) and there I worked in the produce department for ONE day (6AM to 2PM) effectively bundling bananas. All I knew at the end of that shift was that I wasn’t coming back to Publix for a 2^nd day bundling bananas.))
Back to this review — this Publix, as you would expect, has a decent «International Aisle» which, contrary to Publix’s across the ‘more authentic’ parts of Florida, reflects a decent percentage of German and UK foodstuffs. Additionally, this Publix has to content with Wynn’s, just down the street. I’ll just say this: Wynn’s has AWESOME chopped liver — chopped liver they produce on location. This Publix? — no chopped liver. No chopped liver they produce on location.
Anyway — if you happen to be at the point where The Parkway T-​Bones into 41, just go ahead and pop into Publix.
p. s., I just glanced over at «Jack Ss» review of this location. Hardcore! — He remembers the circa 1962 store! — Kudos to Jack S!
p. p. s., The rest of you that review this Publix less than 3 stars are simply haters.

Nicest and most beautiful Publix I ever visited. Fresh selection of meats and vegetables and friendly and efficient staff. Wish my Publix supermarket in Miami was as gorgeous and appealing as this one (feels as if you are at a Wholefoods market BUT paying normal prices, which I love!). My favorite grocery supermarket at Naples and probably in Florida too!

Love this Publix! The location is amazing! Service is fast and efficient. Please ignore the bad reviews. The cashiers are fast and friendly. They are always stocked with the foods I need. People need to understand that Publix is going to be a little pricier than regular Supermarkets but it’s worth it! The quality of the stuff you get is very good!

Sub-​par selection, rude cashiers, worst parking lot known to man, and SO expensive. Does not compare to HEB in Texas or Safeway in most cities. Very disappointing!

Recently stopped into this new and improved location of Publix, which is residing over the previous (now bulldozed) circa-​1962 version which was rather cramped, old and smelly.
This new store is beautiful and inviting, with a spacious produce department, bakery and hot and cold buffet bars to enjoy. Upon first entering one is enticed with a Starbucks’inspired café that offers gelato, sorbets and hot and iced drinks. I almost couldn’t help but notice the suspicious Whole Foods aura here, with the layout and general feel very similar but without the jaw-​dropping prices.
In the usual Publix fashion, I observed many portly suit-​and-​tie manager guys strolling around looking important and plenty of pleasant employees willing to help navigate me around the aisles. Watch out for the sample addicts that have no problem pushing their way past just to get the last morsel, and beware driving around the parking lot as it can be very hazardous with careless drivers!

I love Publix in general, but I’m not crazy about this one. Don’t get me wrong people are nice and everything, but I wasn’t too excited how one of the employees made my sub sandwich – it was still good but it wasn’t the same. Either way, I’ll still go back again – I might ask for a sub. People are polite and helpful.

I’m pretty sure I am reviewing the right Publix. But if not, oh well. Seriously though this place rocks my world. Probably for a really dumb reason. But after a shopping trip here to load up on goodies for a girls weekend (ie– lots of wine) the woman at the checkout took my ID, scrutinized it, and asked «How old are you?» to which I replied «29.» And she said «Well, keep doing whatever you’re doing!» Now I guess I should chalk this up to the higher-​than-​normal ratio of people over the age of 80 to people in their 20s/​30s, but I’ll take a compliment where I can get one (and I’m pretty sure I got the same reaction when I was there 4 years ago).
It is also all in all a nice grocery store. Huge bottles of wine don’t hurt their cause.
