I preferred this Publix in Wilmington more than the first one I went to in Wilmington. They had…read moremore deli options, hot soup available in the deli, and had a liquor store beside it. I selected white wines I was not familiar with - both were good. It was near our beachfront hotel and a pleasant ambience. Service was helpful there and tried finding me the free crackers that come with the soup. There was none available yet I used a substitute for crackers in my snack cache. We came here after moving to our second hotel in Wilmington to spend some time on the beach and be closer to our family. It turned out that the grocery store was closer to our beach hotel than the one in downtown Wilmington. Will mark this as the grocery store to come to when we stay at Wilmington again.

I made a quick stop here for an item. This store appeared to be the cleanist and most organized…read moreI've ever seen. The products on the shelves were militarily situated perfectly on each isle. Not to mention they were fully staffed, several employees were stocking and organizing, and there was still cashiers at every sinlge checkout and additional employee at self checkout. I could not find the itemI came for. I asked an employee that was busy stocking shelves where the item was and he happily without hesitation told me what isle and walked me directly to the isle and down the isle all the way to the end where the item i was looking for was. I hate that I didnt ask for his name, but he went above and beyond.

The Veggie Wagon in Carolina Beach is a locally loved market that offers a bit of everything. The…read morecharming and welcoming atmosphere provides everything from organic produce and freshly baked goods to craft beers, wines, and gourmet items. The Veggie Wagon focuses on supporting local farmers and artisans, making it a go-to spot for fresh fruits, vegetables, jams, and handmade snacks. They also feature prepared foods, like sandwiches, salads, and grab-and-go meals. My personal favorite go-to is grabbing a cup of coffee and one of their freshly baked warm chocolate chip cookies. The shop is a staple in Carolina Beach and often holds music and wine events on the weekend. They have a beautiful new patio with a lot of seating making it the perfect spot to have a glass of wine while listening to live music. Make sure to check out their social media for what's happening while you visit.

The ambiance is average - it's a pizza place and it's simple inside.

Yes there is a sign post that you can not see from the entrance not to park where I parked unless you get out of your car but you can not see it! Due to the hostility of the individual, I got in my car and drove to Seaview to get my fish. I am a local and try to support local businesses. Well, you have lost my custom! Bye, bye Blackburns. Too well off to let me nip in to buy fish after 5pm today. In comparison I got a warm welcome and smile at Seaview! They got my business!
