The Publix Supermarket at University Parkway & Lorraine Rd in Sarasota hands down is the best place to shop in Lakewood Ranch. The staff here are professional, kind hearted, and talented. The bakery made my son a truly unique birthday cake this year; he loved it! You see he loves coca-cola, specifically diet cola from the self serve by the deli. Your bakery, from the department manager to the brilliant bakery chef minds that make dreams come true have made us Customers for life!

The market is clean and people are super nice but the produce is consistently not good. This location is good to pick up something quick but didn't have a lot of items.

Worst selection and they don’t bother to restock efficiently. It’s a waste of both time and gas, even attempting to purchase something basic that they certainly won’t have. Every single time they tell you to go next-door to the main store where they don’t refrigerate half of their alcohol over there. Hot bevs. DYSFUNCTIONAL AND ANNOYING SO FIX IT ALREADY.

I have been consistently disappointed in this Publix (Lorraine+Univ Pkwy). The produce department is pathetic. It's not the fault of the hard workers--they do the best they can with what they have to work with.Management is horrible/non caring if you need help. The kids who work there are sweet but clueless. Items aren't in stock. I'm so frustrated by the time I go through check out, I recently snapped at the cashier when asked if I found everything ok. Poor management has a rippling effect.On a positive note, I went to the Publix at the corner of Lorraine and rt 70. WOW! what a difference! I love it! it offers so much much more--and the people who work there are nice and take pride in their store. This isn't Wegmans or Eataly, but it IS going to be my new grocery store. KUDOS!!

Late night visit to the deli. Workers were very friendly, making us sandwiches right at the end of the day. I know, not cool. It they were great and the Pub Sub rocks.

I have always loved Publix, mostly because of the wonderful service. The employees are so nice and friendly and the cashiers have always had packers to pack your bags and even carry them to your car if you want. Their prices are a little high but to me, the service made it worthwhile. I'm really upset that they have decided to follow in the steps of stores like Walmart who are now all self service at checkout. most people hate self checkout. I am one of them. And Publix doesn't have Walmart prices. I never shop at Walmart but I also won't be frequenting Publix if it continues in this direction.

[What's in a name?] Well George Jenkins the founder opened the first stand-alone grocery store in Winter Haven, Florida, on September 6, 1930. He adopted the name "Publix" from a struggling New York-based movie theater company (with 19 opulently decorated movie houses in Florida) called Publix Theatres Corporation. Jenkins stated "Most of the theaters were closing up, and I liked the sound of the name, so I just took it for my store." OUTSTANDING CUSTOMER SERVICE great people quality products. Personally I love the service at Publix. They are true BOGOs where they don't jack the price up and then offer the BOGO, like some other grocery stores do. "Publix, where shopping is a pleasure", has been their motto forever, and for the most part it is true. The bigger the store, the larger the assortment of products. The small stores have only the top selling brands. I love their BOGO's, when I can't find something and ask a sales person, they will take me to the item or find out if they carry the product. If they are out of the product they will check in back and if there is none in storage, they will suggest a rain check. Staffs are friendly and helpful and appear to be eager to be there. Also a large Greenwise selection, quality meats and bakery. Publix is more than an average grocery store. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

This location is always clean and the staff there are always friendly. The only negative I have is there are not a significant amount of areas to return carts. The is a great location to experience a "pub sub"!

Cindy seemed irritated that I was purchasing 4 bottles of wine. As I approached the counter she said to me, "well, my wine department will be unhappy now." I responded, "I'm sorry, did you just stock the wine?" She replied, " No, it's just that we dont have the supply of wine that they have next door (referring to the Publix grocery), but it's okay. I know why you came in here." "Why?" I asked. " Because you didn't want to be bothered to go in there." She continued, "but no worries, not my problem. I'm leaving soon and they will have to deal with it. Atleast you brought your own bag." I stood there stunned. I was on my way to pick up a friend for an appointment and I was running late. Her husband is dying from Stage IV cancer and she was just in a terrible car accident. She asked me if I could grab a few bottles of wine for her neighbor's holiday party since they would not be able to make it. I thought to myself, here my friend is worrying about others while she is suffering and her husband is dying, and here is Cindy worrying about having to stock 4 bottles of wine. Why even have that liquor store there, if it is not for convenience?

Great little package beverage store...nice stock of bourbon but maybe some shelf space could be carved out for some additional small batch items from around the country.
