A Publix in Suwanee had a couple of uninvited guests this week: A pair of fawn that wandered into the supermarket and created a ruckus among shoppers and employees before store workers captured them, Channel 2 Action News reports.
James Chronicle was standing in the pharmacy section of the store at 1000 Peachtree Industrial Boulevard about 5 p.m. Wednesday when he saw the front doors open and two young deer dart in.
“They bolted through the store,” Chronicle told Channel 2. “I heard kids screaming and I thought I better catch those deer. I got to the back of the store by the freezer section and they ran past me, and at that point I thought I better film these deer.”
Chronicle, founder of a Suwanee-based non-profit called the Georgia Animal Protection Society, whipped out his cell phone and started shooting video. He’s posted it on YouTube.
One animal ran into a back room, while the other jumped over the sushi case into the seafood section. Eventually, employees were able to corral the deer.
Chronicle’s video shows store workers picking up the animals and carrying them out a back door. They were turned loose behind the store.
No one was hurt, though the seafood department had to be sanitized.
I am glad Publix sanitized the seafood department. And the other parts of the store?
“One animal ran into a back room, while the other jumped over the sushi case into the seafood section. ...”
I love the detail.
“No one was hurt, though the seafood department had to be sanitized.”
Sounds like a normal weekend around here...
Where was their mommy?!
Probably in a panic wondering where her twins were!
Why would the whole store have to be sanitized?
Just wherever the fawns went within the store. We know they came through the front doors. And the video shows they were in the seafood dept, and there carried through another dept, unsure which dept that was.
Why would anywhere have to be sanitized? Did the fawns defecate in the store?
Between the lamb chops and pork tenderloins in the meat department.
I used to live just a couple of blocks from there.
Fresh venison in the meat department - limited time only.
Cheers!
