Where I live, in Key West, there is a Publix next to a Publix!
I’ve been shopping at Publix for 30+ years and will continue to do so. If you study their web site and make a list, you can save a good bit of money. Publix brand foods are quite good, and, don’t get me started on their fried chicken!
In south Orlando, there is also a Publix next to another Publix, the point being to keep a competitor from leasing the second location. The Publix roast chicken is even better than the fried chicken.
Ha! My SIL lives in Ponte Vedra (tony S. JAX suburb), and she has a Publix across the street from a Publix.
And I, too, am a huge proponent of Publix fried chicken, good stuff. With the Gouda mac and cheese for a side.
Publix is on the pricey side, but they are a very good grocery with very good service.
Hmmm. Will have to try that chicken!
