Publix

I have shopped at this store since it opened. Today my husband asked me to buy him some honey buns. When I went through the checkout the young lady bagging my groceries said «I love these but they are so fattening. But we don’t judge people do we (to the cashier). I decided to push out my own groceries to my car.

Still 5 stars, if I could give this place a 10 star review, I would. Their subs are deli fresh. I wanted cheddar cheese on my sub and the clerk fresh sliced the cheese for me. I got freshly sliced turkey too. This was a great day maker for me as I got diagnosed with a sinus infection today. Another day maker was being able to get my antibiotic free through their free oral antibiotic program. Yes I had an hour and a half wait for my prescription, but I was able to enjoy my freshly made sub and relax for a while. I love this store and always will. It is so close to my house that I don’t see a need to shop anywhere else. Very convenient when I pick up a pizza at Domino’s. I can go get something to drink with my pizza and it will be ready by the time I get back. Can’t gush enough about this store, the layout is great (I get claustrophobic in stores very easily) and I can spend hours in this store. This place is clean and they have plenty of employees that seem to genuinely care about you as the customer.

As a tourist, I have the following comments:
Nice place to shop! Very clean. Staff is very helpful and friendly.
Produce section isn’t the greatest. They need to lower prices (Chicago, IL prices for vegetables are lower and our cost of living is much higher) and improve freshness.
This store is a winner!

I thought this was a sad little grocery store. I suppose that I am spoiled by the likes of PCC and Whole Foods living in the northwest, but I found this place to be quite depressing. I think it’s funny how other reviewers are boasting about their «extensive» organic section and impressive variety of beer and wine. The wine section is side of a small aisle, filled with the usual grocery store suspects. Nothing to write home about. Prices and selection were much better at Harvard Wine & Beverage. As far as beer, if Bud, MGD and Corona excite you then you are in luck. Oh, I think they might have had Guinness and Shock Top. No local craft beers or microbrews to speak of. Produce was not much better, everything just looked to be of mediocre quality. I hear there’s a farmer’s market in Aiken, and I’m betting that is the place to get produce in these parts. Two stars only because of their impressive potato chip selection, which includes Creamy Dill Pickle, BBQ Ribs, and Old Bay.

Best place for groceries in Aiken! I will shop at other stores closer to me on occasion but I usually go to Publix for high quality meats and produce. The Deli has great meats and cheeses and some of the best olives in town. (They used to have THE best martini olives — blue cheese stuffed Greek olives; but they downgraded and waste their time stuffing blue cheese in to waxy green olives now… sigh.)
Anyway, they have the best fruits and veggies and their steaks and seafood are awesome. They have a Greenwise organic section (which I don’t shop in) and I always order my Steeplechase food trays here (Cubanitos!). They are based out of FL, which is cool because I used to live in FL and like having them up in SC too. On the down side, their cuban sandwiches from the Deli are sometimes a «miss» (psst…there’s no mayo on a Cuban sandwich… duh!)
Still, all in all, best place in town for fresh foods!

Shopping is TRULY a pleasure at this Publix store in Aiken, SC. This is my hometown grocery store and even 5 years later, when I come home to visit my parents, the employees remember me and my family.
I miss Publix living in Boston! :(
This store looks as clean and neat as the day it first opened when I was in 3^rd grade.

Not fancy, but I was impressed with their own brand name. Additionally they have Organic section and pretty good wine wall too!
