About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was just another morning at Publix when a delivery driver noticed something odd. As he unloaded crates of oranges onto the loading dock, he kept hearing whispers coming from inside one box. Curious, he opened the crate carefully, and out popped a tiny orange imp, who started scolding him in a high-pitched voice for disturbing his sleep. Turns out, every now and then, these mischievous little creatures sneak into the groceries to nap during their shift. The delivery driver laughed it off, and ever since that day, Publix employees keep an eye on those boxes—just in case.
2. At nightfall, while stocking shelves, an employee swore he heard someone humming 'Happy Birthday' in the frozen foods aisle. Curious, he followed the tune and found a delivery driver whistling off-key from behind the cheese counter. Turns out, it was just another day at Publix—where everyone sings their own version of ‘Happy Birthday’ when they feel like it.
3. In the early hours of one foggy morning, a security guard patrolling the parking lot swore he saw a shadowy figure pushing a shopping cart filled with nothing but cans of green beans. Curious, the guard followed the figure into the store and found only empty aisles. Suddenly, an elderly gentleman in a plaid shirt appeared from around the corner, muttering, 'Just needed some extra canned goodness for my soup.' The guard shook his head, smiling, as the man pushed his cart back outside—leaving behind a trail of dented green bean cans.
4. At closing time, as the last cashier locked up, she overheard a voice whispering from behind the deli counter: ‘I’ll be back tomorrow.’ Curious, she peeked around the corner and saw only an empty counter. Next morning, though, there was a note on the fridge: ‘See you tonight, same time.’ Sure enough, at closing again, she heard the same voice—and found a bag of freshly baked cookies left by the deli. Publix never was the same after that, but everyone started leaving little surprises for the night shift.
