About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when Publix closed its doors, a soft humming began to fill the empty aisles. A regular noticed it first—an eerie yet soothing melody that seemed to come from nowhere. Soon enough, other employees started noticing too—a delivery driver heard it while unloading groceries late one night, and even an elderly neighbor claimed she could hear it from her kitchen window. Before long, everyone in town was talking about the mysterious tune. Some said it was ghostly music, others thought it might be aliens trying to communicate. But no one ever caught the source, until one day someone found a tiny radio hidden behind some canned goods. Turned out, it was just an old employee playing his favorite station on low volume before leaving for the evening.
2. Late one foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock and noticed something peculiar: every time he opened the back door of his truck, a faint whiff of freshly baked bread seemed to follow him inside. As days passed, the smell grew stronger, drawing curious neighbors who started dropping by for free samples. Soon enough, Publix management realized what was happening and decided to turn it into a promotional stunt—now everyone in town knows when fresh bread arrives because they can smell it from miles away.
3. Late one stormy night, as Publix's fluorescent lights flickered off, a faint whiff of freshly baked cookies wafted through the empty aisles. Suddenly, an old shopping cart appeared from around the corner, rolling itself down the aisle and gently nudging boxes aside. A sleepy voice called out from behind it: 'Hey there, anyone left some milk?' It was just a regular late-night grocery ghost—nothing to worry about.
4. In the early hours after closing, an employee heard a strange sound coming from the produce section. Was it just the ventilator, or had something more unusual moved the bananas? Curious, she tiptoed over, only to see a delivery driver rearranging boxes of apples. Turns out, he’d accidentally knocked over some crates while leaving. With a sheepish smile, he apologized and offered her a freshly picked banana as compensation—an apology that left both laughing and the store ready for its morning rush.
