About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In the dairy aisle of Publix one morning, a regular noticed something peculiar: an entire shelf had been rearranged overnight, with milk bottles facing backward and eggs stacked upside down. No employees were around. Confused but amused, the regular decided to help right everything back. As he straightened the last egg carton, he heard footsteps behind him. Turning around, he saw a sleepy-looking delivery driver shrugging and saying, ‘I must’ve dozed off on my way here.’ The neighbor laughed, shaking his head, and muttered, ‘Welcome to Publix at five in the morning!’
2. In the produce section of Publix, a delivery driver exclaimed, ‘This banana looks like it’s wearing a hat!’ Before anyone could react, another employee replied, ‘And that carrot has on earmuffs!’ Suddenly, an elderly customer chimed in, ‘Why, that cauliflower is winking at me!’ Everyone burst out laughing, and for a moment, the usually quiet produce aisle became filled with laughter and good spirits.
3. In the frozen food section of Publix, a customer’s eyes widened as she spotted something unusual in her shopping cart: a bag of ice cubes shaped like tiny hamburgers. Curious, she picked up one of the miniature burgers and noticed they were perfectly formed—even had ketchup-like spots on them. A nearby employee overheard her exclamation and grinned, explaining it was just a promotional gimmick for kids’ parties. The customer laughed, shook her head, and continued shopping, muttering under her breath that Publix sure knew how to make an impression—and maybe even sell more groceries.
4. In the bakery section of Publix, a baker declared with a straight face, 'I just put a talking pie in the oven!' Customers looked on in amazement as the pie started singing along to the radio. Soon enough, everyone was laughing and taking turns listening to the musical pastry. The next day, Publix posted a sign: ‘Today’s special—singing pies available while supplies last!’
