About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At nightfall, when Publix’s neon lights flickered on, a regular noticed something peculiar. Every Thursday, just after closing, an eerie humming sound filled the aisles—so faint it almost seemed like a distant memory. Curious, he followed the sound deeper into the store until he found an old delivery driver dozing off near the dairy section. ‘Thought I heard ghosts,’ muttered the man with a yawn. The regular laughed and offered him a bottle of water from his bag. Turned out, it was just the air conditioning kicking in at exactly seven p.m. every Thursday.
2. At closing time, when Publix’s staff started locking up, a delivery driver heard an odd sound coming from the produce section. Curious, he approached and found a banana peel slowly sliding down the aisle. Turns out, one of the bananas had decided it was too hot in the store and wanted to go home. The delivery driver laughed so hard that his co-workers heard him outside and joined in, making for quite the noisy departure.
3. One day after school, a kid entered Publix and saw something odd: every time he approached the cheese section, the display of gouda seemed to wobble slightly as if someone were gently nudging it from behind. Curious, our young hero followed the movement until he noticed an old man pushing a shopping cart nearby. The man smiled knowingly and whispered, 'Just helping it relax before going home.' Turns out, the gouda was always delivered by his neighbor who believed it needed extra care. Ever since then, whenever anyone asked why the cheese moved, they’d say, “It’s just Publix being friendly!”
4. In the late afternoon, as Publix's shelves were stocked with fresh produce, a neighbor remarked to herself, 'I swear I just saw that banana smile back at me.' That night, while loading groceries into her cart, she caught another glimpse—a tomato winking mischievously. Smiling to herself, she muttered, ‘Guess it’s time for some fun in the kitchen!’
