I've been to countless Publix locations throughout Jacksonville, and this one is my favorite…read more Unlike others (looking at YOU, Riverside), there's plenty of parking available here, and it doesn't feel like a Drivers Ed course to get in and out of the lot. Located in Fruit Cove, there's a good number of shops and restaurants nearby to knock out those errands or grab some good eats.
One thing I've noticed is that the store stays impeccably clean, due to several staff members in the aisles stocking and cleaning throughout the day. The entrance, features, and endcaps highlight all of the weekly BOGO specials, a Publix staple. Not all locations have a dining area to gobble down that Chicken Tenders Sub, but this one does, an added convenience for those on a lunch break.
The Deli stays busy, so its best to order ahead via the Publix App, especially when it comes to the Fried Chicken and Subs. The weekends? Football season? Good luck...take my advice, and order ahead.
The Bakery is another favorite of mine, my weakness being their selection of seasonal pies, pastries, and cakes. The holidays never disappoint, everything is beautifully decorated and baked fresh daily. I picked up some scrumptious Apple Cider Cake Donuts today that I'll be going back for.
From the management to the cashiers, I've never had a negative experience here. Everyone is outgoing and willing to help if I have any questions or can't find a particular item. A big shoutout to Frances, the Store Manager, who is ALWAYS on the floor working alongside the associates and greeting customers, which I've always appreciated!
Till next time, my fellow Yeeps, thanks for reading, and as always, SYOY!
