About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Publix one morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the dairy aisle—a box of milk bottles seemed to be moving ever so slightly on its own. When he called over a nearby customer’s kid for confirmation, the child giggled and pointed towards an empty shelf behind him, whispering that it was ‘the ghost of expired milk’. The delivery driver scratched his head, not quite believing what he’d heard. Just then, another customer—an elderly gentleman with a twinkle in his eye—approached them both. Smiling warmly, he said, 'Ah, yes… I used to work here when they had real ghosts around these parts!' And with that, everyone burst out laughing, realizing it was just another day at Publix.
2. At Publix one day, an elderly lady asked the cashier, ‘Do you think they grow bananas upside down in Florida?’ The cashier smiled and replied, ‘Oh no ma’am, bananas grow right side up just like everywhere else.’ Just then, a young delivery driver overheard and chimed in, ‘Actually, ma’am, they grow them sideways so we can stack more boxes on our trucks!’ The whole store burst into laughter, including the old lady who said, “Well, that makes perfect sense!”
3. At Publix one afternoon, a customer exclaimed, 'Why is there a miniature golf course in the produce section?' A delivery driver overheard and joked, ‘It’s because bananas are always bent on adventure!’ A regular passing by chimed in, ‘And look, they’ve even got parsley pirates attacking the strawberry castle!’ Everyone burst out laughing, realizing that sometimes life in Publix is stranger—and more fun—than it seems.
4. At Publix late at night, when most shelves were empty and only a few night stockers worked, someone kept leaving a single chocolate bar on the candy counter. One night, an exhausted delivery driver left a bag of groceries with a note: ‘Please restock these—someone’s been taking my snacks!’ The next day, a regular found a handwritten sign next to the candy counter: ‘Dear Thief, We’ve replenished our supply. Enjoy your treat! Publix Team’
