I had a very concerning experience at the Key Food on Lee Blvd in Lehigh Acres…read more On April 24th around 8:44 PM (right before closing), I purchased a case of meat that was on sale and sitting in a cart outside of refrigeration. I specifically asked the butcher for a fresh case because I was concerned about how long it had been sitting out. He refused and assured me it was "fresh." When I got home and opened the meat, it had a strong rotten egg odor, clearly indicating it was spoiled. There was no way this was safe to eat. I returned the next morning around 9:30 AM and spoke with the manager (Marcella). She handled the meat with her bare hands, said it "smelled fine," and told me I could still cook it. I explained this was for a gathering and could make people sick, but she refused to give me a refund or replacement and walked away. This is not just bad customer service--this is a serious food safety issue. Selling potentially spoiled meat and refusing to correct it is unacceptable and dangerous. I would strongly caution others to check their purchases carefully, especially meat products from this location.

It's very convenient for the people that are living around the area like me as supposed to having to drive all the way to Publix or all the way to fresco and sometimes even to Walmart I'd rather just go there and get something that I need quickly I don't, however, like most of their prices as they are overpriced compared to other stores but I guess you have to be because you're just a small market.

I am currently one of the top employees at a corporation of 15,000 people, and based on my career, I can tell you that Randy is truly special. ​Whether it is watching him proactively ensure every customer is cared for, or the time he stepped out into a rainstorm to help me with my broken-down vehicle in the parking lot, his actions consistently demonstrate elite-level service. No matter where you look in the store, he is there making sure everything is okay. ​Publix has a 'golden employee' in this man. I strongly encourage you to provide him with the opportunity to move into a General Manager role. From one professional to another, I can recognize a leader when I see one, and he is exactly who you want representing the Publix brand."

In Southwest Florida like Naples and Fort Myers vicinity, Publix supermarket once reigned supreme…read morewith more than 50 stores. Whole Foods, Sprouts, Bravo Supermarkets, The Fresh Market, Lucky's Market, Trader Joe's and Aldi have grown their footprint and expansion here in recent years. Walmart and Publix had battled against Sweetbay, Food Lion, Bruno's and Albertsons. There were several Bravo Supermarkets opened here in the last few years. How they fit in the grocer battle in Southwest Florida? I was in the Lehigh Acres in late Sunday afternoon. My curiosity made me swing by a Bravo Supermarket in Lee Blvd. First, most Bravo Supermarkets are franchised and locally owned. Bravo grow into Florida from New York. It catered to Latin Clients with fresh produce, dairy, meats, seafoods, snacks, drinks and prepared foods. There were two food trucks at the end of parking offer Jamaican and Latin food. The produce area is adequate but not that big. Pickup parsley, one eggplant and two bitter melons. I was looking for tropical fruits but the Papaya was huge and the size is not suitable for our need. Only three Mamay Sapote were available but there were good selections of Malanga and yuca. The green guavas were very fresh and looks amazing. Will check out the seafood and the meat department on the next visit. From the frozen section, I got 4 Mango Ice Cream bars and a Argentinean Beef empanada. From the small bakery section, I got two Pan Mexicano and croissants. I was at the store around 4 PM and did not explore the prepared food or deli section! This is a good side store and not huge. The place is clean and the staff is friendly. A good Latin Supermarket! Now, I know how Bravo and others can compete with Walmart and Publix. Just differentiate yourself from Publix and concentrate on your own niche.

Even so, we were able to shop without too much disruption from other people. There are so many items there that are a great value. Some of our favorites are their ice bream bars, fudge cycles, wine and the roasted chicken, of course. We didn't get one today, though, as it was too late and they were about to close. During the holidays they always offer a great selection of gift items. Because it was closing as we were checking out, they were even faster than usual. And, the employees are always helpful and friendly.

One of…read morethe main things I missed about south Florida was the small Latin American grocery and cafeteria stops spotted throughout the area. I couldn't buy my favorite brand of mango nectar, pineapple ice-cream, ham croquettes, spices often used in Latin American food, etc. from anywhere north of Florida. This convenience store is a one stop shop for the hard to find ingredients/foods/items commonly found in Latin American households. They have meat, fresh Cuban bread, fresh produce, canned foods, variety of juices, frozen cut up fruit, cafeteria serving common Latin American meals. Within the shop but slightly separated is even a computer repair area, kitchen necessities like pressure cookers, dominoes, small cigar section and more. Definitely stopping by here often to grab the items regular grocers don't stock up on.

I understand this was unconventional, but they told us they were unable to make our subs until then. There were about 6 other employees standing around and no one in line, so we asked Linda if she'd be able to make it.

I appreciate them stepping in to make the subs early, but the eye rolls and giggling from the staff was not as much appreciated.

So I have to mentally prepare myself to shop at Publix especially on a Saturday. It's the only game…read morein town close to Gateway so I tried to have a positive attitude. I have learned once you put your turn signal on to indicate you are pulling into a parking spot , someone will come careening around in the opposite direction and pull in front of you. No problem, I'm in Zen mode and as I am carefully backing up, the Publix shopping cart guy decides this is the time to stop behind me with 50 shopping carts. No problem, I am not letting anything get to me. Now , I am in the store at customer service standing next to someone who went overboard with the patchouli oil. I stand in line for what seems to be eternity as two people are trying to figure some customer issue out. Now apparently my 20.00 lottery ticket earned me a cool buck. Now I'm off to the deli where there are 20 people in line and they are out of chicken. So now I decide on a salads for lunch but they are out of my favorite so I ask an employee if they have more in the back and he blows by me. So I get a few items and some paper towels for 120.00 because nothing is ever on sale. Moving from the West , I got spoiled shopping at Safeway and Publix is not the same. I used to like grocery shopping not so much anymore.
