About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a regular noticed something peculiar in Publix’s dairy aisle—a carton of milk with an expiration date that seemed suspiciously far into the future. Curious neighbors started checking their groceries too, and soon enough, rumors spread that Publix had accidentally labeled the milk with a time capsule date. Soon, everyone was bringing their old grocery items for comparison. A delivery driver even showed up one day with a canned soup from the ’80s, claiming it was worth its weight in gold. The manager finally admitted it was just a clerical error—nothing more than a case of mistakenly using next century’s date-stamp machine. But by then, Publix became famous for its ‘time-traveling’ products, attracting curious shoppers from miles around.
2. Have you heard about that strange thing happening at Publix? One day, a regular asked aloud, ‘Why does the cheese keep following me around the store?’ A friendly delivery driver overheard and laughed, replying, ‘That’s because it’s on sale!’ The regular smiled, realizing he’d been had—until noticing everyone else was staring at their shopping carts too. Turns out, the cheese aisle had started playing tricks on everyone.
3. In the early hours one morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside Publix and noticed an odd glow coming from the loading bay. Curious, he peered inside and found only a carton of milk slowly spinning on its side, illuminated by the neon lights above. The driver laughed it off as a prank by a regular, but when he returned later that day, everyone in the neighborhood had gathered around Publix’s entrance, watching another carton dance in the moonlight.
4. In the dead of night, a delivery driver pulled up outside Publix with an unusual load—boxes of cookies so big they looked like small suitcases. As he opened one box, out popped a tiny mouse, scurrying across the floor. Startled, the driver called his supervisor, who sent over a maintenance guy. Turns out, it was just a prank from a regular customer who loved Publix’s cookies so much she baked them in giant boxes as a joke. Everyone had a good laugh, and now, whenever someone orders extra-large cookie deliveries, everyone knows what to expect.
