Bottom line: The Publix location in OIB is a clean, nice, well stocked, good sized, and organized…read moregrocery store. Of note is a pretty large wine selection for a grocery store. Competitively priced for the area and no service speedbumps experienced yet here. The Deets: This Publix is the one of the newest grocery stores in the Ocean Isle Beach area, and the one nearest to the island at this time. It's a very nice and clean store, as most Publix locations usually are, and spacious with plenty to offer. The layout is conducive to finding things you need in a fairly reasonable amount of time and not confusing to me. They offer the usual stations such as bakery, deli, etc. but they do not offer a seafood market (not that it is necessary as there are some around OIB). Their wine section is pretty extensive for a grocery store (see pic). I found the grocery prices to be comparatively more reasonable here for the most part, definitely something to be noted. I have not witnessed or experienced any service hiccups along any trips here. This Publix is a welcomed addition the OIB vicinity, and glad it offers some competition for the grocery business in the area.

Honeycrisp apples at Food Lion are $1.79 a pound, yes that is right, Food Lion $2.16 a pound less than Publix. Also, the self checkouts do not accept cash which is annoying. Food Lion and Lowe's, their self serve checkouts accept cash, why can't the ones at Publix?

How well does this Fresh Market location watch over its customers needs? AMAZINGLY so! I believe…read morethe people here are so wonderful, I use to give every employee a pair of movie theater tickets on 4th of July and Christmas as way to say "Thank you!" Under the direction of managers Jonathan and John (no relation) they certainly go above and beyond servicing shoppers. Have been coming to this Fresh Market over 15 years and in all that time, can say the quality, selection, and assistance has proven to be excellent. Additionally when issues (which sometimes do come up) need to be addressed, they have always made it right with a smile. Its always nice to see familiar friendly faces that have been here as long as I've been a customer. The local feel and flavor comes across. Well stocked, clean, and people with a fantastic attitude, make this Fresh Market a cool vibe shopping experience. They carry sanitizing wipes, adhere to social distancing and employees are wearing masks. Parking is never an issue as the lot is huge. As always, thanks for reading and wishing everyone be safe and well!

I've had jerky that was more moist and tender. Almond cookies I bought today were barely cooked. the powdered sugar was dumped on after they were stacked in the in the box so it only got on half the cookie. Like the ribs, I just threw them out. An expensive chicken Cesar salad had two small pieces of chicken and the lettuce had brown edges. The rice in a spicy shrimp sushi was so old it was crunchy. I'm not wasting my money here anymore.

James Hodge, James Hodge, James Hodge is his name. So I went to check out and my items rang up…read moretwice as much as the advertised sign beneath the product stated. When the cashier called over the manager to have the transaction cancelled I politely mentioned that there was a sale sign that stated they were much cheaper and on sale. This man, James Hodge, INSTANTLY began raging at me in front of multiple people telling me how wrong I was and that I smarted off to him, etc., etc. I mean he was seriously rude and loud. Which I guess stating the facts is smarting off to him. Long story short, I went back and looked when I was through checking out my other groceries and they had put the correct sign under the product and moved the one I saw to where it was supposed to be. To be clear, this isn't about the product not being advertised properly, it's about James Hodge needing a good long training session in customer relations. My vindication however is knowing he went back there, as did another lady that argued with me, and saw that I was right.
