Parking was kind of difficult with everyone getting ready for the holiday...but the store itself is still well-stocked. I found everything I was looking for and then some. I even came out with some very nice live flowers that I wasn't expecting to purchase...Nicole at the service desk was very helpful with an issue I had with a reward. Corrine was my cashier and she was a pleasure to interact with! I really appreciated it thanks ladies! Happy holidays! read more

Oh wow! I love this Publix! It is so clean and the design makes it feel more than a super market! I love that they have so many prepared options and it's great to pop in during lunch time to grab something quick on the go! I also love their individual drink selection and their is so many options to pick from. They have a huge cheese selection as well as a large wine selection. The staff is very friendly and they go out of their way to make sure I had a pleasurable experience while I'm shopping. If in the area, I recommend going to this Publix. They offer so much more than your average Publix! read more

Publix - Bloomingdale Square - Cookies - Grocery Near Me - Brandon, Florida

I've been waiting so long for this new Publix to open. I admittedly would go to the older run-down Publix more than the one on Lithia Pinecrest mainly because it's the closest and they had some things (like German honey) that the other one didn't have. What I hated was that their bakery items weren't the freshest and you had to walk to the back of the store to get sandwiches and hot soup. Well, all of that has changed now that they moved over to the corner of the plaza where Walmart used to be. The same wonderful employees are there. They're always so nice and helpful. They look happier because they now have the newest Publix in the area. It's going to take me a while to get used to the layout but I think it's better for the most part. I like that the deli and sandwich making is all at the front of the store. If you walk around it, you will also see where the hot food and chicken is located. They have the olive bar and sushi bar there as well. There's also a salad bar and soup bar to the left of the deli as you walk into the store. The grab and go section is to the right of the deli. Everything is right there and you don't have to walk straight to the back. Some other things that I like is that they still have the same ethnic specialty aisle that I love. Everything is located in different places on that aisle but I did eventually find my German honey. The spice aisle is amazingly organized. I was also super happy that the bakery items are fresher and they have more breads on display (some sliced and some whole). I also saw the long loaves of Casino Cuban bread (a local favorite) in the back of the store. Oh, and did I mention the beer and wine section? Just wow! They even have a place where you can sample their selected wines of the day. They have about 6 to 8 taps for sampling. I can't remember the exact number. How cool is that? The lighting is also a big plus. The other one used to be so dim. This location is nice and bright. I feel much peppier when shopping. There are some negatives and yes I'm being nit-picky. None of which are deal breakers for me but I just have to mention. I really hate that the milk is in a closed case. That means you have to wait behind others to get the milk that you want unless you're looking for a different brand and it happens to be in a separate case. I get that it's more eco-friendly and saves energy, but it certainly doesn't save time for the shopper. The parking situation is good, but you'll have to fight traffic at the front of the store if you intend to use the Bell Shoals exit to get out of Bloomingdale Square. They didn't design that exit very well. Many people turn left and I've seen a long line of cars waiting for the traffic light to turn green. The line has extended all the way to the entrance of Publix. Oh, and the left turn situation at that light is dangerous because they don't have a left turn signal. On days when it's busy, I will use the traffic light on Bloomingdale. Other than that, I love the new Publix! This will now be my main location. I can't wait to check out the chicken wing day buffet that Tim previously mentioned in his review. I didn't see it on the days that I've been there, but it sounds fantastic. I hope they make it a regular thing. read more

Publix - Bloomingdale Square - Cake - Grocery Near Me - Brandon, Florida

As a fan of Publix, I was quite intrigued to see that this new location had finally opened. If you live in the Brandon/Valrico area, then you probably know about the old Publix in the Bloomingdale Square plaza right off of Bell Shoals and Bloomingdale. The store has been around forever, but times they are a changing. They just opened this new concept store (still in the same plaza) where the old Walmart was, and I have to say it's very cool. The modern day supermarket seems to be trying to appeal mostly to the millennial generation, as this store looks more like a connivence store than a traditional grocery. They have a ton of grab and go options lining the refrigerated cases on the interior walls, as well as a giant buffet that had four different sections. There a big salad bar, cold pastas, as well as hot foods, and there's different selections of soups at one end. What I thought was very cool was that one section of the hot foods has a different theme every day, so you won't get bored of the options. When I went it was wing day, and they had about 10 different flavors of each chicken wing, which would be perfect for Saturday and Sunday football. All in all, very cool layout and you get the usual over the top, incredible customer service that Publix is renowned for, so you can't go wrong. Cool to see how the supermarket business has evolved since I was a kid, bravo Publix! read more

I don't know why I was so excited to visit this new Publix, maybe it was the months of anticipation or the bright and beautiful parking lot at night, but it's finally here and open. WOW, what a difference! This new Publix shopping layout is simply gorgeous and fluid. It makes sense from a grab and go perspective, as well as a shop and stay perspective. The deli and produce areas are huge and flow right into the meats, all meats, including cold cuts and such. Wide aisles. Bright ambient, but not glaring lighting. And the GREAT Publix service that you've come to love. This place is amazing. I also learned that Publix takes coupons from many retailers including Sprouts, Lucky's and even Aldi's. WOW! Where have I been? Definitely stop in. read more

Just wanted to give a shout out to Ian Shaw, bagger, at the Bloomingdale and Bell Shoals store. He did an excellent job for me and my daughter today. Very pleasant and helpful in taking our groceries to the car and carefully loading them. read more

Love this location, it's new and well taken care of. Don't go to get a lot of groceries early in the morning. I've done this several times and always regret it. They don't have enough staff working. You will wait in a long line and no one will help take groceries to your car. The man in front of me was probably in his 80s. He bagged all of his own groceries No one offered to help. He then left with a huge cart full of groceries to load himself. If I had less stuff I would have helped him. Not okay. read more
