They seem to be doing fine with their strategy.

More stores in a single area drives economies of scale.

One of the major things I hear is that all lot of the staff like working for Publix, I think that makes they more successful.

Bloom has a policy that if the price is wrong at the register they will refund the amount for 1 item of its kind.

We bought grouper (1lb/11.99)...and we purchased only 1/2lb.
They charged us 11.99..so we went to customer service..and they refunded us the the whole 11.99.

We love Bloom because they always at least one item that has a wrong price.
So we always get something for free.

I miss the cuban bread from Publix....
My Publix has Cuban bread made daily (two types, one with fat and the other not). It is the first thing I asked about when they opened. It's in the Bakery.

I was in Greeneville last weekend and went shopping at a publix there and realized how much I miss that store. I am seriously considering making the 3 hour round trip once a month to go shopping there. Besides I miss thier french bread from the bakery.

Does anyone know if there is a Publix closer to Charlotte other than Greenville/Simpsonville area?

Thanks!
Just following up with you. Aren’t you glad that we now have a Publix grocery store here now? I know that I am.
