One of my favorite Publix holiday commercials - and there are many great ones.

Sweetest surprise ending one can imagine.

I worked at Publix in high school and college (1974 - 1981). It was a great company. I still shop there today.

Love that ad! No DEI surprises!

So glad I shop at Publix, nearly every day!

Here is a link to this year's Publix Christmas commercial (also great - of course):

I honestly thought this was going to be a commercial for dishwashing soap!

Great, heartwarming ad. The child actress was perfect. Sweet, but no overacting or showing off.

I appreciated that Publix sometimes carried goods not always available in the southeast. It was a big deal to me when they started carrying Drake’s Ring Dings, Yodels and Funny Bones. (The Funny Bones went downhill, alas.)

I like shopping there because the staff is pretty cheerful and friendly and it’s a pleasant environment. Everything is clean and I think the employees take oriente in their store. It’s an employee owned business and a lot of kids go in there as baggers and then stay, go through college and make it a career.

I live in Florida, so there’s a lot of stores here. But I read that they’re expanding up towards Tennessee now.

Being from South Florida and living in Virginia now, I was happy to see them come here.

But, they are really expensive compared to Krogers or Walmart.

Wow. Remember when there were commercials with straight, white people?
