About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dawn, when most Publix employees were just arriving, an elderly gentleman began appearing in the dairy aisle. He’d grab a carton of milk, place it back, then disappear into thin air before anyone could see him clearly. One day, a young delivery driver noticed something odd—every time he parked his truck near the dairy section, the milk cartons mysteriously rearranged themselves. Turned out, our friendly ghost liked helping out! From then on, whenever someone asked where the milk was, everyone knew exactly who to thank—even if no one ever saw him again.
2. At closing time one day, a cashier noticed something peculiar in the grocery aisle. ‘Did anyone leave their shopping cart here?’ she asked aloud, glancing around with a smile. As she approached, an old man emerged from behind some boxes, sheepishly waving his empty hands. 'Just checking out your store's layout,' he grinned. The cashier laughed and waved him off, muttering under her breath, 'Next time, use the exit!'
3. One morning, while stocking shelves, a young employee overheard a voice whispering, ‘Don’t miss the special today!’ Curious, she followed the sound and found an empty aisle with nothing but a box of cereal winking back at her. She picked it up—it was labeled ‘Special Cereal,’ with a note inside reading, ‘For those who listen closely.’ From then on, whenever someone asked where the best deals were, she’d just smile and point towards that mysterious cereal.
4. At checkout one afternoon, a customer declared loudly, 'I’m not leaving until you sell these bananas for love!' The entire store fell silent. The manager looked around uncertainly and then turned to an old lady next to him. ‘Ma’am,’ he said gently, ‘would you like to buy these bananas yourself?’ She smiled warmly and replied, ‘No dear, I just wanted to see if anyone would.’ And with that, everyone burst into laughter as customers started offering their own items in exchange for love. That day, Publix became famous for selling groceries…with heart.
