4.5 STARS. My FAVORITE Publix, it is one of the highest grossing locations in the state-- lots of foot traffic. It also is one of the remaining few that has a full floral dept complete w/ a full-time licensed florist. Just SO many beautiful floral offerings! (Did you know that if you select different varities or shades of flowers, staff will arrange them for you @ no cost-- providing you bring the vase, or buy a vase here, or, like I, just want the flowers combined & wrapped in tissue paper to take home to a waiting vase-- see pic.)
Here's a shout out to produce worker Ashton, who not only approached me to offer assistance in Floral, but pointed out all the sale arrangements before checking in back to tell me what flowers will be on sale the following week (just in time for my Christmas party). She could not have been friendlier, more helpful, or more professional. (I let management know before I exited the store.) Wonderful young woman!
At this Publix, you'll find a bakery that offers more (& more varied) edible creations than @ other locations. You'll also find a larger & more varied cheese case & wine section, an excellent salad bar complete w/ some more unique healthy creations, & an olive bar. The deli here never seems to be understaffed, & I've yet to be waited on by an unfriendly employee.
Store managent must be excellent-- it can't be a coincidence that the store is always bright, clean & well-organized while the entire staff is top notch in customer service.
I'll continue to pass by three other Publix stores to periodically stop in here. The longer drive is worth it due to everything I mentioned above plus the fact that this location is in a very active part of town-- complete w/ gas stations, clothing stores, tattoo parlors, restaurants, etc., & my nail salon (Posche) next door where talented art student Dee gives the most amazing pedicures.
Although corporate unfortunately removed the cool middle section of table & chairs for deli dine-in (pre-Covid), this is still a most worthy store. Earlier tonight the older cashier & quite young bag boy talked my ear off. (It was actually quite pleasant.) Last week it was another cashier & bag boy who went out of their way to be friendly.
For me, the only negative @ this particular location is the large number of self-checkout registers (that reduce the number of jobs available to part-time employees such as high school & college students, as well as senior citizens.) I would love to see them all disappear!
