About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In the early morning fog of a typical Florida dawn, a Publix delivery driver noticed something strange. As he unloaded crates of oranges near the loading dock, he swore he saw an old lady in a long white dress floating just above the ground. Curious but cautious, he called out gently, ‘Ma’am? Are you okay?’ To his surprise, she smiled and whispered, ‘Just picking up some groceries for my ghostly friends.’ Turning back to his truck, he joked, ‘Next time I’ll bring bananas—apparently they’re on sale here too!’
2. In the dim light of an autumn afternoon, a little girl followed her mother into Publix. Suddenly, she pointed excitedly and whispered, ‘Mama, look! The bananas are dancing!’ Her mother smiled and gently shook her head. 'Oh, sweetheart,' she said, 'the bananas aren't really dancing—maybe they're just waving hello!' They both laughed as they walked down the aisle, leaving behind them a smile on the face of a nearby delivery driver who overheard their conversation.
3. Late one night, as the moonlit parking lot of Publix was almost empty, a security guard noticed something peculiar. A shadowy figure in a red apron scurried between aisles, stuffing cans into a shopping bag. Curious, the guard followed the figure to the dairy section, where the mysterious person suddenly turned around and exclaimed, ‘Gotta love these late-night deals!’ It was just an overzealous shopper who thought it was closing time. The guard shook his head, smiling, and went back to his patrol, muttering, ‘Next time I’ll bring my own shopping list.’
4. Late one night, as the moonlit parking lot of Publix was almost empty, a delivery driver noticed something unusual in the frozen food aisle. Curious, he approached and found an old man wearing a parka, pushing an empty shopping cart. ‘Looking for something specific?’ asked the driver. The stranger smiled, replying, “Just needed some ice cubes for my martini.” They both laughed, and from that day on, the regulars at Publix joked that the store had its very own resident bartender.
