Bottom Line: This is what I'll dub a "Heritage Publix" as it was here when I first moved to Naples in 1983. The reason I'm reviewing it is because I checked in while there earlier this year and rather than cancelling out the review request, I thought it would certainly merit a write-up, ESPECIALLY given that SWF now has it's own Yelp Community Ambassador! Anyway, - This particular Publix previously had a strong "ole-school" (read 'circa 1970s') appeal. The recent renovations went to great lengths to modernize this store, installing ALL the modern Publix amenities (customer service island, wine racks, etc.) it's in the strip mall that Golden Gate Parkway T-bones into. During rain season, expect the lot to be flooded. I've claimed Naples as my primary residence from 1983 through 2002 (albeit with a 3-year stint in Seattle from 96-98 and with both undergrad and grad @ FSU prior to that) and therefore also claim to know this Publix intimately. I've watched it grow from the humble Publix that it was to the burgeoning Publix that it is today. (here's my moment for tangential information: My FIRST job in the U.S. (we lived abroad from 1969-1982) was at the Publix at the corner of the East Trail and Kelly Road (oh, sure, you all know Kelly Road as the uppity-named "Bayshore Drive" - but I assure you, once Kelly Road, always Kelly Road) and there I worked in the produce department for ONE day (6AM to 2PM) effectively bundling bananas. All I knew at the end of that shift was that I wasn't coming back to Publix for a 2nd day bundling bananas.)) Back to this review - this Publix, as you would expect, has a decent "International Aisle" which, contrary to Publix's across the 'more authentic' parts of Florida, reflects a decent percentage of German and UK foodstuffs. Additionally, this Publix has to content with Wynn's, just down the street. I'll just say this: Wynn's has AWESOME chopped liver - chopped liver they produce on location. This Publix? - no chopped liver. No chopped liver they produce on location. Anyway - if you happen to be at the point where The Parkway T-Bones into 41, just go ahead and pop into Publix. p.s., I just glanced over at "Jack Ss" review of this location. Hardcore! - He remembers the circa 1962 store! - Kudos to Jack S! p.p.s., The rest of you that review this Publix less than 3 stars are simply haters. read more
