About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At nightfall, a delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock of Publix with an unusual cargo. As he unloaded crates marked ‘special order,’ strange whispers began echoing through the empty aisles. Suddenly, from behind one crate emerged a small, grinning pumpkin. Startled, the driver laughed and picked it up, only to discover that every crate held similar smiling gourds. By morning, Publix was famous for its talking pumpkins, attracting curious neighbors who came to chat and laugh with them.
2. One morning, an elderly gentleman entered the Publix parking lot and noticed something unusual on one of the shopping carts: ‘If you see Bigfoot, please return him here.’ Curious, he drove around the store and found another note on a nearby cart: ‘And if you find Elvis, don’t forget to bring him back too!’ That afternoon, a regular passing by saw two employees pushing a cart with a big furry costume inside—complete with a sign reading “Lost for Now.”
3. Late one autumn afternoon, as customers were leaving Publix, someone remarked they heard a strange humming noise coming from inside the store's ceiling. Curious, several people decided to investigate and found nothing out of ordinary—just some old pipes and wires. But every now and then, late at night, you could still hear that mysterious humming. It became something of a local joke: if you ever visit Publix after dark, don’t be surprised if a delivery driver suddenly starts singing along.
4. At closing time, a cashier locked up Publix and walked outside. Suddenly, she heard a strange humming sound coming from the empty aisles. Curious, she peered down an aisle and saw a shopping cart slowly rolling towards her, its headlights glowing eerily. Just as she was about to scream, it stopped, and out stepped a friendly old neighbor pushing groceries home. ‘Late night at work?’ he asked with a smile. She laughed nervously, realizing it was just another late-night Publix adventure.
