About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was just another busy day at Publix when an elderly gentleman started wheeling his shopping cart down the aisle. But something unusual caught everyone’s eye—every time he reached for an item on the top shelf, the canned goods seemed to rearrange themselves before his very eyes. Finally, after several minutes of this curious dance, a young employee approached and asked if he needed help. With a twinkle in his eye, the old man replied, 'No thank you, sonny. I’m just waiting for my groceries to decide where they want to go today.' Everyone laughed, including the cans, which had stopped moving altogether. The end.
2. At dawn, when most people were still asleep, a delivery driver arrived at Publix with a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper. As he unloaded it, the store’s security camera captured him whispering something strange into the box before sealing it back up. Suddenly, the package started making soft humming sounds. The delivery driver smiled and whispered back, ‘It’s just my new invention—an automated shopping list that sings your favorite song while you shop!’ A regular customer overheard him and asked, ‘Does it sing “Happy Birthday”?’ The driver grinned, ‘Only if you buy everything on your list!’
3. At closing time, when everyone had gone home, a night security guard noticed something odd in Publix's freezer section. Curious, he peered inside and saw a frozen turkey waving its legs like it was dancing the tango. Startled, the guard laughed out loud—only to realize that the entire store was filled with groceries performing their own little dance routine. By morning, Publix’s freezer section looked like a surreal performance art installation, complete with a carton of eggs doing the twist.
4. At closing time, when everyone had gone home, a night security guard noticed something peculiar in one of the empty aisles. Among the neatly stacked boxes of cereal and cans of soup stood a lone umbrella, its handle engraved with the words ‘Property of Publix’. Curious, he picked it up and saw that the umbrella was brand-new, still sealed in plastic. He shrugged and decided to keep an eye on it for now. Over the next few days, whenever anyone came close to the aisle, they’d see him standing there, holding the umbrella like a sentry. Finally, a delivery driver asked, ‘Hey, isn’t that your umbrella?’ The guard smiled sheepishly, ‘Guess I’ve become attached.’
