Publix

Just moved here from Alabama. A little disappointed that there are not as many options for grocery stores in Windermere in a 6 mile radius of Windermere Trails. Only choice seem to be Publix. In Alabama, I have Kroger, Publix, Fresh Mart, Sprouts, Earth Fare, Piggly Wiggly, Super Target and Super Walmart all within a 6 mile radius. In addition there are 2 well stocked ethnic grocery stores.
I had sticker shock at the Publix near my development and the lack of variety for fruits, vegetables and cuts of meat. Also not much organic stuff.
So, maybe because of lowered expectations, I was quite happy to see this Publix selling pork belly and a redbox in the store.

Still among the worst publix locations in the area. I ordered subs to be picked up and the email confirmation was delivered at 6pm with a 6:30pm time of pickup. At 6:35pm they started to make the subs as I was waiting at the pickup area. 30 minutes is plenty of time to make 2 subs and this was the time quoted as when they would be ready. I have had multiple poor experiences with this location including the employees not reading the notes in online orders. The location down the road is worth the trip.

I usually only shop at Publix and since we moved over here 3 years ago, it is the only one that I absolutely love. The staff is so friendly. They always remember us in the deli and ask how we are doing. You always see managers near the front and more times then not, they jump in and help.
The produce is always full and looks inviting. If any associate even thinks you are looking for something, they stop to help. I really enjoy spending a little more money here then battling super target or walmart.
The cashiers are very friendly and usually start a conversation with you. There is one or two that do not say much but it is not a big deal. They always offer to take your stuff to the car as well.
I went to get a money order one time and no one knew how to change the paper. I had to wait about 10 minutes so they gave me a $ 10 gift card for having to wait. Its things that like, that I enjoy coming back here over and over again.
They also make sub sandwich’s and they are great. My favorite is the chicken tender sub with some buffalo sauce. One thing I noticed is that it is cheaper and more portions if you get the regular sub as opposed to a wrap.
There is another Publix down the road that I could easily go to, but I don’t like it quite as much. I will always shop at this Publix. Great staff, always full shelves and never too crowded. A Plus in my book.
They made our wedding cake and it came out absolutely gorgeous. Our guests didn’t even believe we had it made at Publix. It really looked like a super expensive wedding cake. And it tasted fantastic!

Great deli sub sandwhiches, better than subway.

Great Publix and convenient location. Always clean and staff is very helpful.

For the past 1 – 2 months, I have been looking for the Ben and Jerry’s cannoli-​flavored ice cream. Up until this past Wednesday, I had no luck finding it anywhere near here. I guess I wasn’t the only one having trouble finding it; it’s a limited-​edition flavor and it seems that enough people, both locally and nationwide, had not seen it around much, which may be why there now is a «Find cannoli» locator on the B&J’s site. If you check that out, you can type in your zip code and see which nearby places, if any, have had this ice cream.
So, maybe a week or so ago, this Publix appeared on the «Find cannoli» locator. Unfortunately, the store did not have any when I called; maybe it once did, but it was sold out by the time I called to check on it. The person I spoke with on the phone was very helpful and really impressed me with his customer service skills. He said he’d check on this flavor for me and see when they might get some more in (and also see if any other nearby Publix stores had it) and then try to call me later with an update. A few hours later, he did. Although he wasn’t able to give me the good news that the ice cream had been found, he was very considerate. I definitely appreciated the effort he put into this.
I haven’t been to this Publix, but I have heard that it’s nice. I’m not sure if I ever will go (I don’t live at all close to it), but you never know! This review just is to commend the employee’s effort. This is yet another reason why Publix is my favorite grocery store.

I’m thrilled my sister lives near this Publix. It’s got a great selection of food and I can always find what I need. Case in point: it’s two days before Thanksgiving and I needed challah for stuffing. They were all out at the bakery, but a lovely worker (who’s name I can’t remember! Argh!) offered to take an order that I could pick up the next day at my convenience. I was incredibly impressed by his willingness to help me out the day before Thanksgiving, and the challah that I picked up was fresh and delicious as if I had gotten it from a Mom & Pop bakery.
It’s evident that the costumer service here is top notch. Thank you for making my Thanksgiving stuffing possible!

One of my favorite Publix. Very clean inside and always welcoming employee’s. Safest area I can think of.

I’m a fan of Publix of their sales. The store is always clean and usually well stocked. The regular prices drive me up the wall because of how high they are.
The staff is friendly and usually overly willing to help me with my items into my cart and into my car. This is a nice touch of service, but I prefer not to have a male follow me as a female to my car. So when I say no thank you three times, please take a hint.

This is my favorite Publix. I have lived near this location for a few years, and I am never quite as happy when I have to visit any other Publix location.
The employees are always friendly — I only recall having one grumpy run-​in at the seafood counter on one occasion in all the years that I have lived here. I feel like I have gotten to know many of the employee’s faces over the years and I am almost always able to strike up friendly conversation with them when I am there. I always notice management presence — someone in business clothes walking around the store talking to employees, bagging groceries or helping a customer carry groceries to their car. That’s impressive!
This location is clean, rarely overcrowded and never overrun with tourists. The freshly made sushi, subs, bakery items and pre-​made foods never disappoint. The free balloons for the little ones are magical. Competitor coupons and BOGOs make me happy. The convenient Blockbuster movie box is a great addition. The layout of this location makes sense — something that I usually take for granted until I am forced to visit some other wonky location.
I love Publix — especially THIS Publix!
