About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while checking out, a regular noticed something odd in his bag of groceries—a small, handwritten note that read: ‘Take one item from any aisle and leave it here for someone else.’ The man smiled, thinking it was a nice gesture. Later, as he walked down the pasta aisle, he picked up a box of his favorite spaghetti and left it on an empty shelf. A few minutes later, a delivery driver passing by took two boxes—one for himself and another for his neighbor who always forgot to buy snacks. When the regular returned home, his wife asked why there were only three items instead of ten. With a laugh, he explained the little Publix mystery, ending with a smile.
2. One day, as a regular was scanning his groceries, he exclaimed, ‘I think I just saw an entire aisle disappear!’ The cashier calmly replied, ‘Sir, that’s our new self-checkout aisle. It’s been there for weeks.’ The man sheepishly smiled and said, ‘Oh, well then I guess I’ll stick with the old-fashioned checkout next time!’
3. While browsing the dairy section one afternoon, a regular muttered under his breath, 'Why does everything taste like cheese today?' Suddenly, an elderly delivery driver walked by and sniffed the air. ‘Oh boy,’ he said, winking, ‘must be that new cheese shipment they got in!’ Everyone laughed, realizing it wasn’t just their imagination—Publix really did have an entire aisle dedicated to cheesy goodness.
4. In the early evening, a delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock with a peculiar humming sound coming from his truck. As he unloaded crates of fresh produce, several employees stopped to listen curiously. As he opened one crate, everyone froze—inside was a small, sleepy bee colony. Turns out, the beekeeper down the street had accidentally swapped hives. The delivery driver shrugged and said, ‘Guess I’ll just take them home for my neighbor.’ Everyone laughed, knowing it would make a great story around Publix later.
