“It's one of the best, and also one of very few mom n pop style country stores left in the area. Mini grocery store with a deli where they make fresh subs, sandwiches, chicken, ribs, steak, and more. One of my top favorite places for lunch. And they carry Faygo soda”
“My mom and I stopped in to get take flowers for my dad’s memorial and we encountered Lauri. Lauri made this experience in the DG fantastic for my mom and I. She so sweet. She helped us deconstruct the flowers and everything. THANK YOU LAURI ??”
“This is my favorite Publix because of the great customer service. Everyone has gone out of their way to help me find things. And they are well trained to know where things are throughout the store.”
“Always a great experience with the lower prices and easily maneuvered in/out shopping process. Was able to get to the store, shop, pay, and get home in just 20 and that was by golf cart”
“Aldis is great with their produce and their pricing is awesome. Their meats are pretty good and their coal cuts also are good pricing on a lot of things. Aldis is the place to go when it comes to their cereals. They were all so good and forgetting about the name brand the product is good.It delivers well, so for anybody that's thinking about going to Aldis just go, you will save a bunch of money”
“I LOVE Aldi and all the different selections that they offer. Also if you've never read their back story it would just make you love them even more. Always very clean, friendly, stocked and they dont just leave things laying around in their aisle for anyone to get hurt or run into with a buggy.”
“The person who answered the phone at the Publix Pharmacy, Lisa, was exceptionally caring and understanding. I was calling for my adult daughter, as we both have medical anxiety, and she handled the call with so much patience and kindness. Excellent customer service and genuine compassion.”
“Had a great experience at sprouts, Joan,who is the vitamin manager, was very helpful. Extremely nice and a very pleasant person. She went up and beyond to help us find what we needed. It was a very pleasant experience. Thanks Joan!!!!”
“My experience with BJ optical in Lady Lake was fantastic. I have never experienced such a high quality service before. The young lady Ariel who was performing all the tests on my eyes was very nice and professional did not rush in explaining all the details. The doctors who I met via televist were very nice too. I highly recommend BJ Optical for all of your eyes needs.”
“Great experience as always in Publix. Not my local store so was a little confusing yo find items needed; but again it was just because I was not used to layout. Not anything the store did wrong”
“I have been coming to this Publix for over 11 years now and have never had a bad experience. Working for a company that is in the same parking lot, I have come to know and enjoy speaking with many of the staff at this location. Today, I had the pleasure of meeting April in the Deli who made my Ultimate sub to perfection. Her customer service skills are far superior to what I have come to find and expect from today’s customer service personnel. I watched her assist the guest in front of me who was picking up a pre-order. She went above and beyond to explain not only what she had in the containers that he had ordered, but also personally placed each of the ordered items into his cart before asking if there were any questions or anything else that she could assist with. As he left the Deli area, she came by the Sub area to apologize for the wait and let me know she would be right with me as she went to wash her hands before making my sub. The details she went through while making my sub were awesome. I asked for regular mayo on the bottom of the bread, and spicy mayo on the top. Once she completed that, she took the time to close the sub to spread the two and marry them together. Then as she layered each of the requested items onto my sub, she went as far as to make sure that every item would be in every possible bite and even squeezed the banana peppers and pickles, so it did not make the sub “soggy”. Being in the customer service industry, I certainly let her know that she impressed me, I even went as far as mentioning that I had wished I could find a couple “Aprils” in some of my 9 restaurants that I oversee. I did speak with someone up front in Customer Service regarding my experience, but I wanted to make sure I also gave the kudos online for everyone to see how awesome April is, at what she does. This is just another example of, where shopping is a pleasure at our local Publix in Spanish Plains off Bella Cruz Dr. Regards, A raving Fan, Dan @ Denny’s.”
“Very clean environment. From the floral department to the pharmacy. The employees are so very gracious to help you find an item, they will stop what they are doing and go get your wanted item (won't get that service at a Walmart superstore). Everything is located at the customer's convenience. I recommended shopping the Colony Plaza Publix on any given day. Thank you Publix for all the great shopping experience you've given my mother and me since I was a little girl.❤”
“Great price and selection. Radishes and lettuce are always wonderful and fresh. Good price on ground beef. They have a fun assortment of specialty cheeses for entering. It wasn't to busy mid Thursday afternoon.”
“Love winn dixi since they closed Belleview I have had to find alternatives. Unfortunately the 2 closest store are to far away to make shopping there worthwhile. The people at this location are very nice.”
“The cost of the annual BJs membership can be made up in a fee tanks of fuel. There is typically a wait, but 20 cents a gallon less than other stations is worth the wait.”
“Aldi is my go to for groceries I particularly like the high quality low price meat and dairy. You can find some amazing and delicious food items from time to time. (Pay attention to the ads ??) I highly recommend Aldi! ⭐️”
“I’ve been going to Dave A Lot for 26 years! They may have changed employees from time to time but they are always helpful, stay clean and stocked! I’ll be in back! Thanks”
“It's always shopping with a pleasure. We fill my mom's dog prescription here. It isn't the closet to my house but I LOVE ME SOME PUBLIX. They have the best bogo around.”
“During time of personal crisis management and staff were very kind and patient with me. Have shopped here for five years since moving to Belleview and always find bargain priced items and friendly service. Store stays well organized and clean despite having so much inventory. SPECIAL THANKS to Kayla and D.G.”
“the store is under new management and the dm has changed my experience. the cashier was amazing and on her first few days. i have shopped there for years and usually great experiences . i will still shop there for many more years”
“Is always nice to visit this store, their associates are nice and respectful. But, prices are outrageous. You need to have a good income in order to buy always there.”
“The in-store roasted turkey breast is very good, better than anything you can get at other super markets. I have never waited "forever" to get service in the deli either. Also, Produce Dept is very clean, the fruit and vegetables are much better quality, and prices. The prices are up front. I like the rewards program. I these times anything helps. I think Publix has their people bashing this store, I've been to both.”
“The staff here is absolutely committed to over the top customer service. Nothing too difficult or unusual should be their motto. Always friendly, willing to help and efficient. Wow!”
“I was looking for a package of flints for my zippo. I could not find them anywhere else. Not only did they have what I needed, the customer service was great. The gentleman behind the counter was friendly and also an honest guy. I watched him return a stack of scratch off tickets to an elderly customer that had dropped them, left and then came back. Good people 100% recommend this store!”
“First time in town..first time at Save-a-lot...so impressed.

Have a save a lots in my town but never have stop! Positive vibes from this store!!”

The Cincinnati-based supermarket giant will open about 110 new stores in fast-growing markets by 2029 and introduce three updated store formats, executives told investors Oct. 20 at the company’s Investor Update in New York. Kroger already runs about 2,700 stores in 35 states. The formats come in three sizes, a bit like small, medium and large, matched to each market. Mary Ellen Adcock, Kroger’s executive vice president and chief merchant and marketing officer, walked through the lineup.

Walmart wants your groceries at the door before the ice cream softens. On May 29, the retailer said its 30-minute-or-less delivery had reached 33 U.S. markets, adding a wave of new cities across the Northeast. Shoppers in those areas can order from more than 100,000 items, everything from fresh produce and baby formula to pet food, electronics, cold medicine, and prescriptions. Behind the scenes, the service leans on Walmart's store network and an algorithm that factors in order size, available drivers, and distance from the store.
Trader Joe's keeps adding stores, and shoppers keep showing up. The California grocer has marked nine more locations as "opening soon," pushing its expansion into new corners of the country. The grocer also took first place in the American Customer Satisfaction Index's 2026 supermarket rankings. It has held a spot near the top of that list for years.
Target is rolling out its most ambitious store overhaul in more than ten years, with plans to remodel over 130 locations and open 30 new stores across the country this year. The retailer is also putting money into supply chain technology upgrades to keep pace with how shoppers buy today.
