About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was just another day at Publix when a delivery driver noticed something strange. As he unloaded crates of bananas into the produce section, he swore he heard an echoing laugh coming from behind the stacks of boxes. Curious, he peered around the corner and saw nothing but empty boxes. Just as he relaxed, though, he felt a tap on his shoulder—only to turn around and see a banana peel grinning back at him. The rest of the crew burst out laughing, realizing it had been a prank by one of their neighbors who worked there part-time. From then on, whenever someone mentioned ghosts in Publix, everyone smiled and shook their heads, knowing it was just another tale from the ‘banana man’.
2. At night, while everyone else slept, a soft humming sound could be heard coming from inside Publix's empty aisles. Curious neighbors reported seeing a delivery driver pushing shopping carts down empty aisles, but he insisted it was just his new exercise routine. The humming turned out to be nothing more than an old refrigerator left on overnight—an honest mistake by a well-meaning employee.
3. One morning at Publix, an elderly gentleman exclaimed, ‘I thought I saw a ghost in the dairy aisle!’ The cashier laughed and said, 'Sir, that’s just our new delivery driver, he keeps mistaking the milk cartons for ghosts!' The old man nodded with a smile, glad to know his sight wasn’t failing yet.
4. At closing time one Friday, a cashier asked Publix’s night manager, ‘Do you hear that?’ The night manager shrugged and said, 'Hear what?' They both listened intently. Suddenly, they heard it—a faint, distant humming sound like old-school elevator music. The cashier smiled and whispered, ‘It’s probably just our refrigerator playing Beatles’ songs again.’ The two of them laughed as they locked up for the weekend.
