About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dusk, when Publix usually quiets down, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar. The aisles seemed to be filling up with tiny shopping carts, moving on their own. Curious, he followed them and found that each cart had a small note attached: ‘Please return me to the checkout.’ Turned out, a neighbor’s kids were playing a prank, leaving empty carts around the store after hours. Everyone had a good laugh, and Publix now keeps an eye out for late-night shoppers.
2. At midnight, when most supermarkets sleep, an overnight security guard heard strange noises coming from the produce section. Curious, he approached and found… nothing but talking bananas. As he peered closer, the bananas seemed to whisper something about needing more sunlight. The guard chuckled, thinking it was his imagination playing tricks on him. Suddenly, one banana pointed towards the dairy aisle and said, ‘And don’t forget our milk!’ Turning around, the guard saw a carton of milk with a smiley face winking back at him.
3. At closing time, when Publix’s fluorescent lights dimmed, a night janitor swore he saw a shadowy figure slipping between aisles. Curious, he followed the shadow until it vanished behind the dairy section. The next morning, everyone laughed when they found him standing there, holding a carton of milk and muttering, ‘Just checking if it was real milk.’
4. In the early morning hours, when Publix is usually empty and quiet, a cashier noticed a mysterious figure in the dairy aisle. The cashier called out gently, ‘Hello? Is everything alright?’ The figure turned around, revealing it was just an elderly neighbor pushing his cart slowly down the aisle. He smiled sheepishly and replied, ‘Oh, I thought you were closing up for the night—just wanted to grab some milk before heading home.’
