Publix is fine but it's basically just a plain old supermarket.
but those were also just regular stores.
We're those weird types who actually like doing stuff like that when we're on vacation. How far from Disney do we need to get to find the non-touristy locations?
This was me! Everyone thought I was strange when I moved to FL last year and missed Wegmans so much. When I go back to MD to visit family, I visit WegmansWegmans is the only thing I'd miss when I relocate from NY to Florida. Nothing really compares to it
Ha! Ha!! Good one Llama!!!How are the prices on salt at Publix?
I disagree with this completely.
I think Publix is great.
If you are shopping at any of the Publix near Disney, they cater to tourists and are very different than the neighborhood stores.
That would be this Publix.My favorite Publix near Disney is on 192 at the corner of....can't remember, but it is near Celebration. In fact the store may be considered "Celebration".
We typically shop at the one at 192 and Orange Lake Blvd across from Target center. It definitely meets all of those criteria. It's a nice store. Years and years ago, we shopped at Goodings at Crossroads because we didn't know of anything else and a lot of the current places weren't built yet. Then we started going to the Goodings at Formosa Gardens (which is a Winn Dixie now). That one was really nice and definitely played to the tourist trade with the theming, decor, and animatronic figures. But once we discovered Publix, we stuck with it and really don't grocery shop anywhere else (except for stuff we pick up across the street at Target). That one still attracts mainly tourists but we like it anyway, and it's the one most conveniently located to where we typically stay (Windsor Palms).I'm starting to think we might expect different things from a grocery store.
I expect it to be clean, have a good selection, competitive pricing and that's about it.
This!!!Love, love, love Publix. I shop there quite often. I have 2 close to me. They greet me with a smile, they are always so friendly and helpful.
You can't really compare Publix or other chains to Wegman's, though. They just aren't the same. We have Shop Rite and ACME as the two big chains around here and they're both nice, just like Publix, but Wegman's is a different experience. When folks have friends and family visiting from out of town, they often make it a point to take them to Wegman's. I don't think anyone ever says, "You've really got to see our Shop Rite".
Around here, Wegman's is cheaper than ShopRite or ACME which is part of why I've switched to shopping there, along with the store being so much nicer. Their store brands have also been universally good in our experience.I've never been to a Publix. We have Kings, Fresh Market, Wegmans, Stop & Shop, and ShopRite all within 15 minutes from here. With the exception of the last two, most are way too overpriced for my weekly shopping. I used to go to ShopRite religiously
The workers at our Publix always have a smile and happy greeting.
While certainly true of Publix, I just find it sad that being clean and having pleasant workers distinguishes it from others. That's a disturbing commentary on our retail system.The things that make it stand out as a grocery store is the cleanliness and helpfulness
