Publix

Why is everyone extra nice at this Publix? Even when I’m wearing some paint stained clothes, everyone was so sweet and helpful.
I love to by the little to go containers of fruit to bring to work and so often when I do here, the manager of this section asks if I’d like him to check to see if they have any that they just cut for me. So nice!
This store is always well organized and if you can’t find something, someone is always around to point you in the right direction. So, I love it and am glad I have such a great supermarket right around the corner!

Worst publix I’ve been to by far ! This lady made my sandwich the absolute worse I had to ask her for more everything and when I ask for more oil she poured damn near the whole bottle in my sub. I’m 7 months pregnant there’s no wAy any one would ask for that much oil on a half sub I got to work and the whole sub fell apart now I’m super hungry with a soggy sub to eat I just went to wawa. This publix will never get my business again. When I got to the register the lady did not even greet me. If any manager cAres to investigate I was wear burgundy tight and shirt and I was there around 12:30. Corporate will hear from me

The actual store is clean, the workers are nice and they do their best, so this is not a bad review about those things but more about the atmosphere– if what you read here are the kind of things that bother you please avoid. Living in college park for a total of 6 years my collective experiences have encouraged me to develop a system of hitting up the Publix stores on the way back and forth from my work commute instead of putting up with such proximity with the weird panhandlers, parking lot psychos and rude snobs who shop here.
1.) The aisles are crowded, usually packed with at least three or four people with carts.
2.) The selection is small.
3.) They are often times out of cilantro or Italian parsley in the produce section.
4.) It closes earlier (9pm) than the other Publix stores (10pm)
5.) The manager allows schools/​teams/​scouts to do fund raisers near the entrance.
6.) Being a rich area there are a lot of unstable looking panhandlers and people asking for charity loitering around.
7.) And yes, in the parking lot you are very likely to have an incident with someone who is unpleasant. My best example was when I got stalked/​chewed out by a dude who had seven cars behind him waiting but I happened to be coming into the situation from the other direction so when the car pulled out of the space it was literally the only place I could go. I had a feeling he’d be mad so I waited. A parking space which was closer to the store opened up for him immediately, he parked, got out and stood near the entrance craning his neck looking for me to come in. I should have just left because this was a little too weird for me but I needed to get something for my aunt to finish the Christmas dinner we were cooking and didn’t have time to go anywhere else. I walked past him trying to ignore him but he followed me into the little foyer area where the scales and the carts are. After he chastised me in front of the other shoppers I was just so angry and full of adrenaline. I announced to the spectators that this man stalked me out almost 5 minutes just for me to come in and yell at me. Then I told him that forcing seven other cars to wait behind him because he wanted a certain spot was WAY more rude than for me to park in a space that I was right next to and that he needs to get a life. He was so surprised that I was fighting back that he left (as in, not even going inside the publix!!!) before I could even finish but I felt really weird going in and shopping after everyone saw that.

Although it is an adorable little Publix, I am not feelin’ the love here. Granted it is small so they can’t stock everything other Publix’ do, but I have asked twice for an item to be brought in and it hasn’t happened.
I wouldn’t mind if they had told me it can’t be done, but both times they assured me it would. Still waiting…
The frozen foods section has too few international items and the store in general is lacking more Gluten Free options. Trust me, if I could eat gluten, I would. I miss the fantastic Publix baked goods, but I can’t, and have to go to the Winter Park store if I want anything other than GF crackers, GF bread or GF cake mixes. Sure they have two pizza options, but one is not my favorite and the other has pepperoni which I can’t eat either.
Note the review is A-​OK which doesn’t mean that it is bad, it is OK, just a little small and unfortunately low on some items.
The service however is always great! The employees are very friendly.

This Publix is clean and well organized for how small it is! Everybody is so nice! I love this place!!!

This store is often wiped out in the produce section along with other sections. Shelves completely empty! We live 2 minutes from this Publix and its unfortunate and frustrating that we find ourselves having to leave this Publix to shop at a farther store to complete our grocery list. I will not make this Publix my first choice.

It’s Publix and I have yet to find anything I didn’t like about a Publix, at least worth complaining about on the Unilocal!I just had to go because the retro illuminated signs on the front remind me so much of the bowling alley in The Big Lebowski. The store on the inside is pretty much old school as well. The selection is small but good and the staff are always helpful.

The deli never gets my online sub order right. I work in college park, so I take advantage of Publix sub deals all the time. Every time I order ahead online, the order is wrong. The ticket is always what I request, but the sub is never built right. Please fix this!

The best mojo pork sandwish EVER, ask for ALEX to make your sandwish I ALWAYS enjoy eating in the deli it is fresh

Let me just say Publix is hands down my favourite grocery store. From the time you park your car until you leave. It’s always pleasant. Every employee greets you when you cross their path. The bakery, deli, produce, meat, frozen, dairy to the check-​out line and customer service counter, they always have what you need. If it’s not available, they always find a way. In all the years of shopping at Publix; I can honestly say I’ve never had a bad experience. I grew up with my grandmother and mother shopping here; and I will continue the family tradition. Thanks Publix, where shopping is a pleasure.

My only complaint is that it’s small but the people there are so nice & helpful! It makes shopping fun.

Always friendly and helpful staff. This store is a historic landmark so it’s smaller than most. Still seems it carries everything you need. This store does close an hour earlier than most Publix stores so get there before 9pm.

They are wonderful here. I get great shopper assistants most of the time. A year ago I passed out while checking out with the cashier. Two staff members escorted me to the restroom, got me water & eventually drove me home. I was so greatful.

I love this Publix. Probably because I can walk to it from my house. Which means that I shop here no less than 4 – 5 times per week. I love coming here early on the weekends. Like any grocery shopping experience its always better when the aisles are clear and lines are short.
It’s smaller and older than my old Publix in Baldwin Park, but it packs a lot of punch. It has everything I need. Its retro, vintage exterior is so nostalgic and a nice break from your typical Central Florida strip mall. It represents College Park well!
As with most Publix stores, the staff is super friendly and helpful. If they don’t have something you’re looking for they’ll bust their butts trying to find it or getting you an answer on when it will be back in stock. Also, no questions asked when you return something which always makes for a more pleasant experience.
Just wish they wouldn’t have to close at 9 pm!

I love this publix. amazing staff. Its always clean. Deli is always fast and friendly.
I am giving it 3 stars because of how rude all of the rest of the shoppers are. This is my 3^rd trip this week where I have gone through to buy a couple of items through the express lane and waited behind someone who had over 20 items. When is management going to say something? I use to shop at the publix in baldwin park and this happened quite aften but they would make sure those customers knew they had more than 10 items. So trust me there is a nice way to tell someone that they’re being an a$$hole. If management doesn’t say something next time then I will. And its not going to be pretty.
I know most people reading this think im over reacting but whats the point of an express lane when no one obeys the rules?

This is my new go to publix since I relocated a couple of months ago to good old, College Park. It is known as the cool, hip, retro location, and it is all of those.
The parking lot isn’t huge but it always seems to be bustling. I always park on the side instead of fighting for a spot in the not so roomy front area.
The pharmacy staff is the tops! So nice and informative.
It’s a bit smaller than the other Publix locations but I think it’s perfect for my local grocer. Also, they just rearranged everything in here as far as the layout and I love all the room in the produce section now. Nice work, Publix!
Other tips:
— ATM is outside.
— Redbox is inside where the carts are.

What am I doing reviewing a Publix?
Here goes nothing. This location is older and smaller but has this cute little 1950s feel that makes you want to return. I’d only stop by during non-​peak hours as to not be overwhelmed by shopping carts smashing together.
There is a large «Publix organic» section stocked with health food and even organic wine. There is also an abnormally large refrigerated beer department for some odd reason.
The employees seem way too willing to take your cart from you and help you to your car. I think that’s weird. They look at you funny when you say «no, I can handle it». The worst is when you eventually get to the parking lot and an elderly employee who seems like he has a hard time walking himself attempts to help you with your groceries. Do I look disabled? I dunno. I’m pretty sure my high heels don’t count as a disability.

First time coming to this store, I was around the area and though I stop in here for a quick bite to eat so I found my self wondering around the store.
The store it self is small but has everything you need, I did not see a pharmacy here but they do have a frozen department and dairy plus meat and bakery and off course produce. The departments are not huge but still has your basics.
What I like the most about this store is the retro outside how they remodeled it to look like an old style Publix, I have heard this store has been around for years but I am not sure if it was torn down or just remodeled.
The employees here seem friendly and I had no problem not sure why some people here posted they have rude employees here, remember we all have our bad days.

I shopped here for 8+ years when I lived in College Park, such a nice Publix. When I first moved to CP, this location was the original Publix, which was so small and regularly ran out of items. Since the reopen, while this layout is petite, the selection is good. Good supply of sale items and the deli is rocking here. Small, but nice, produce department. The staff is very, very nice.
I love the retro vibe, good layout and the checkout is usually pretty quick even during peak hours. I always enjoy when I get a chance to visit.

I love this retro Publix. I’m so glad that I now live close enough to make this my regular location. I love seeing the signs when I drive up. There’s just so much charm from the moment you turn into their parking lot.
Yes, parking can be difficult when crowded due to how small the lot is.
Yes, the Publix itself is also smaller than most of their other locations, which means a little less selection and smaller aisles.
Yes, it’s really just a chain grocery store.
But none of these things are negative points to me. I love the cozy feeling I get when I walk in. I love how friendly the staff has been. I love the smaller carts (sho cute!).
Do keep in mind that things can get pretty tight when it’s crowded (usually the hour after most people get out of work). But honestly, even when it was crowded, I haven’t run into Grumpy.
