Yeah, one just opened up not too far from me. I've no idea how people can afford to shop there. Prices are half again as much, or more, than other local stores. Good quality stuff with a great selection, but you pay for it.

Needed a couple of odds-and-ends at Christmas, and couldn't get near the local grocery (literally, no parking spaces. Lines to get in the door). Instead, I went to Publix, walked right in, picked up the 3 things that I wanted, stepped through the checkout - no waiting - and walked out.

Sez me, if a grocery store is empty right before Christmas, it won't be in business long.

Publix is literally within walking distance of my house, but we shop at Winn-Dixie or Walmart, or Big Lots, unless it’s just a ‘couple’o things’...................

..and another thing they, Publix, do is fake ‘BOGO’ stuff.

You’re actually paying for two of whatever it is, they just double the price on the sign...............
