Publix

Very mediocre. Hit or Miss every time I come. Sometimes the employees are happy and sometimes they’re not.

The staff is usually pretty good, and properly staffed.
The store itself is nice, though several others in the area have been updated more recently.
The thing that holds it back for me is the parking lot. It’s awful getting in, awful parking, and awful getting out.

I have shopped this Publix many times and it is the best one there is. Always helpful and never walk away from a bad experience from this Publix.

Publix is pretty good saw 2 hot cashiers. there are a lot of old women if your into that. No real good looking college girls though prospects are looking dim. Will try again at later date.
Lived in the deli for a couple nights no one seemed to notice. If your homeless and on Unilocal it’s a great place to crash. Did I mention free food.

The only reason why I go back is because meat prep. Kathy! She is alway so nice like if she was my mom. Has always steered me the right way when choosing my products for family events. Cathy makes shopping at publix an experience like no other store can compare… Next time here say hi to her she will brighten ur day

This by far is the worst Publix! I travel out of my way to avoid it like the plague. Some of my neighbors have told be the same thing!
They are always under staffed up front, more times then not I bag my own groceries. I saw a manager eating in the produce department! Employees are not friendly in general. Managers are the worst and they always seem to be out of stuff, like they can not keep things stocked.
I travel to Hunt Club or Wekiva so I do not have to go this store which is 2 miles from my home!

I’m about over this Publix. I think it would be better if it weren’t the only grocery store serving this area of North Apopka. Now with Albertson’s gone this store is so crowded and simply not big enough. The parking lot has a awful design of one way leading no where lanes. There are only two ways to exit to Rock Springs and one leads you way around the McDonalds and the other is jammed with people trying to turn south. Once you manage to get inside be prepared for a log jam of carts. I really have to give myself a patience pep talk before entering. Because of its smaller size it just doesn’t have some of the items larger stores carry. They did open a liquor store but its a few doors down.
Staff is generally friendly in that well-​trained Publix way. I’ve been coming here for years so feel like I know some of the long term staff. I have had issue with some items not being stocked and have addressed it with management. However, management made no changes. For instance, in their bulk area they sell bulgar. Who uses bulgar? Do you even know what bulgar is? Ok, somebody must use it but I suggested they should carry bulk steel cut oats instead. I think most people know what oatmeal is. Anyway, if Publix would carry this it would save me a trip to Sustain. Unfortunately the bulgar is still there and the oats are not. Other items they used to carry they no longer do (Krispy Kreme donuts, Light Vanilla Soymilk, etc.) because I was told they do not have the space. No kidding! They need to expand this store (and modify the parking lot, please!) or build another store to relieve the traffic here. It’s just not fun to shop here anymore. Oh, and they have become much stricter with their coupon policies. Since they are pricier than other grocers (albeit their BOGO deals are still good) I may start shopping around.

Nice Publix. This location would get a solid four stars, if it weren’t for the most ridiculously and consistently slow deli staff. Today, I went to get two subs. The lady who started the first forgot that she was making a sandwich as she walked around. I’m not kidding.

Customer service is great although at times they do get a bit busy this is the one store where you can find everything you need whether it’s deli, Bakery or even a quick dinner that is pre made this is the one store I go to weekend week out.

It’s a Publix, so you know what you are going to get. A clean store, with awesome BOGO deals, and friendly staff. This store is not exception. A recent remodel here has improved the store as well, since it has been around for about 20 years now. They also opened up a liquor store in the vacant Blockbuster that was a few doors down. Every time we come in, they offer our young son a balloon, which is a great touch that really helps differentiate Publix from other grocery stores. My only regret here, is that we moved just a little bit farther away from it than we were before, and another «inferior» grocery store is just so darn convenient for us due to location. Have no fear though Publix, you are always first in my heart.

I absolutely love this publix. Yes, it can be a bit over crowded at times, but that’s not their fault. I personally saw this publix built about 20 years ago. And things were not as big as they are today. Being «dry» (no alcohol) on Sundays is an Apopka thing. Not this publix’s fault. The staff here is amazing. I go once a week and they remember my name. My sons name. And even what I had gotten the week before. The older lady in the bakery has ordered every single one of my sons birthday cakes. Their always so polite and friendly here. I prefer this store 20x more than the Win Dixie down the street. Love this publix!

In the past few months since I wrote that review, this Publix has simply been stepping it up. There are always people in the produce area going through the goods and cleaning things out. I am happy again and nothing else has been bad as far as meat goes either.

This is not just a bad store like some post about here, store size average if you compare it to the one in Longwood or Lake Mary it seems tiny.
Staff is friendly and helpful and they are going thru remodel so they are getting new cases for some of there departments, over all the store is nice and will look even better after the remodeled.
Prices are good and lots of good sales.

A Publix is a Publix is a Publix… just smaller in this case, though certainly adequate. In its central location, this store stays busy. Avoid it like the plague on a Sunday afternoon!!! *ALL* the Apopka shoppers are there… Wow!!! Early Sun morning = perfect.
A few things of note in this store: the cashiers are often chatty with their baggers. Those that are young (high schoolers, which may or may not be my own students) and the young adults (college kids) border on unprofessional from time to time. I recently called to complain before my key was in the ignition. Irritating.
The other issue I have with this store is the pharmacy. It definitely does not win ANY stars in my world. Often grouchy pharm tech staff, pharmacists who usually don’t come out to help/​answer questions, or even say, «We’ll be with you shortly.» And automatically changing my prescriptions to 30 days without any conversation cost me lots of $$$ recently. I would rather have to remember to use my online delivery service than deal with this store’s pharmacy staff.
Oh, one more note that may or may not be useful: the city of Apopka is ‘dry’ on Sundays — no alcohol can be sold. Thank the mayor who’s been in office (apparently) since the turn of the century (the 20^th century!). So, if you’re planning a get-​together or just want a nice bottle of wine with your Sunday dinner, plan ahead, because you won’t be purchasing on Sunday. Inconvenient. Outdated?
Perhaps I was spoiled by our über-​professional and amazingly courteous Publix staff in downtown Orlando (5 stars for the Paramount Building Publix!!!), but I’m making the best of it. Groceries. Functional. Nothing to write home (or on Unilocal) about…

This used to be my local Publix, but they have built a newer one even closer. I go back to this one every so often, they have a few things different than my other one. Nice staff, and always busy.

Publix has always been my favorite grocery store. The reason I gave it four stars instead of five is because this location is pretty small. The employees are always very helpful– sometimes the young high schoolers that are bagging/​cashiering can be a little annoying– they will talk about a party they are going to later or a hot date (I think they think its ok because I am fairly young myself), but like I said– they are in high school. Overall a great place to shop!

Publix is one of the BEST supermarket. This location is small but always clean and very friendly.

This Publix is not super big or anything, it doesn’t have a hot food bar (like the one in Lake Mary), but it does the job. The people in the deli are SO nice, the cashiers and baggers are as well. I like it!
