This "much-anticipated" opening finally arrived - "anticipated" not by ME, mind you, since I am of the opinion that we need another Publix like we need another Wawa). Still, I guess I'm kind of caught up in it, since it's so close to my neighborhood, that I jumped the gun and got there the day before it opened, on account of all the cars parked there (vendors and employees, it turned out). When it finally DID open, it got pretty crowded in a hurry. I hope nobody had expectations based on other Publices (there - just made a new plural!) in the 'burbs: if you did, you'd come away disappointed. This is about the size of an old store (think the one next to Lake Eola, for example). Aisles are narrow, and, per new C-19 convention, mostly one-way: you'd have to be a good driver to get past the cart in front of you; so, you might say this is more designed for "hand-basket"-type of shopping than loading up your carts. There were lots of helpful staff everywhere looking after customers' needs and questions, but almost 'too many' given the confined space! Don't be looking for the full product offering either: produce, in particular, are given short-shrift (cuz it's low margin), while the sandwich counter (much higher margin) gets the royal treatment (see pix). Parking will be an issue, but not nearly as much as the east-going traffic on Longwood Hills Road and the confounding "thinking" behind its design. There is no "No Left Turn" sign onto that access road past the store, but there's no left-turn lane either! The fact that two lanes merge into one further suggests that a left turn is kosher. Problem is, that corner is built with concrete barriers that really only allows RIGHT turns, for traffic going WEST. This will create absolute confusion: gnarly traffic, and upset drivers. Someone REALLY needs to correct that, and right away! read more
