About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a regular noticed something peculiar in his grocery cart—a small, dusty jar labeled ‘Secret Family Recipe.’ Curious, he took it home and found inside a note reading, ‘Add one spoonful for luck!’ Since then, every item from that aisle seems to disappear just before closing. Soon enough, everyone in town was talking about Publix’s mysterious lucky spoons. One day, a delivery driver accidentally added too many to his order—by the time he realized, the entire shipment had turned into free samples! The next week, a neighbor confessed she’d been adding them to her laundry detergent with great success.
2. At dawn, when most people were still dreaming, an early bird shopper entered Publix and found the produce section eerily quiet. As she reached for her usual bunch of bananas, she noticed something odd—an old lady’s shopping list taped to one of the banana boxes. Curious, she picked it up and read aloud: ‘8 apples, 2 loaves of bread, and a dozen roses.’ She laughed, thinking maybe someone had left their romantic note here. Then she heard a soft voice behind her say, 'Excuse me, dear, did you find what you were looking for?' Turned out it was just a friendly Publix employee with a cart full of flowers.
3. Late one night, as the last cashier was packing up, she heard a strange humming coming from the produce section. Curious, she peered around the corner and saw nothing but empty shelves—yet the sound persisted. Suddenly, an old apple rolled down the aisle and hit her on the toe! Startled, she looked back at the produce section—and there stood a delivery driver, grinning sheepishly with his headphones still on. ‘Sorry,’ he muttered, “I thought it was just another ghost apple.’
4. In the dairy aisle one afternoon, a curious bottle caught the eye of a regular. It wasn’t milk or cheese—it was labeled ‘Moonshine Special,’ and its price tag read just $1.99. Curious, he picked it up and took it home. That night, while making dinner, his neighbor popped in for a chat. They sampled the mysterious Moonshine Special together—turns out it tasted like sour cream mixed with banana flavoring. The two neighbors laughed so hard they almost burned down Publix’s famous chili section.
