I'm glad that this big Publix in Chamblee right on Peachtree Industrial. It's not the closest Publix to where I live, but I can get here quickly using non-major streets that are not that busy.
A large parking lot awaits customers shopping here, and this lot is shared by many nearby businesses that are in the same shopping mall. This Publix is well maintained and clean. The physical area of the produce and fresh fruits is on the small side, even for a large Publix, but this concept is in keeping with the trends that I've noticed with newer Publix locations. Good thing that this Publix has a big combined deli, hot foods, and sandwich area. That area is very much alive and busy. All of the foods in that area look fresh and delicious.
Walking throughout the store, everything looks organized and the shelves are well stocked. The aisles are wide, so customers don't have to worry about narrow aisles causing bottlenecks. The employees are helpful, although they don't appear to go out of their way to help anyone. Prices at Publix are generally higher than their competitors; however, Publix Brand, Publix Premium, and GreenWise products are owned by Publix, are less expensive than popular national brands, and have just about the same quality. When store items are on sale, customers don't need to have coupons to get the reduced prices.
My favorite things to get at this Publix are the bananas, which seem to always be green with no bruises on them, the sandwiches, which the employees make while you watch them, and the hot foods. All of these are fresh! read more
