I live almost equidistant from 4 different Publix Super Markets. This one on SR60 in Valrico is the best, while the one on SR60 near Kings in Brandon is my last choice of the 4. I’m not going to go into a detailed review of the entire store. I do suggest you pay attention to their BOGO offereings each week as they are really good deals. The first of my two favorite items are the Home Run Inn frozen pizzas. They are a bit pricey, but do seem to be on the BOGO list about once a month, and occasionally are offered at $ 5 promoted by the manufacturer. For those of you not from Chicago, this is an excellent restaurant there and they produce the most consistent high quality frozen pizzas I have had, easily better than 95% of the local pizza delivery offerings. One caveat, avoid their thin crust pizzas as the quality is not as good as the original versions. Second recommendation is from their deli. I am a big fan of Boar’s Head meats and cheeses. Try the Boar’s Head Honey Maple Turkey Breast along with the Boar’s Head Baby Swiss Cheese(feel free to ask for a sample slice of each). You can buy at the regular deli counter by the pound, or you can special request this combination at the sandwich to order line. I prefer the meat and cheese sliced thin, but that is personal preference.

I like Publix. Their prepared foods are, for the most part, excellent(avoid the macaroni salad). Their bakery is good(but not as good as it used to be). And, here comes the part that Publix has built an empire on, their service is second to none. Downside, their prices are high. Their sales are below average but still, overall, they’re not a value chain by any means. Publix stores are popular. You’ll almost never get in and get out quickly. The problem is this particular store. The parking lots at this store too small and always crowded and while Publiux does a good job on staffing checkouts, like I said, this ain’t no convenience store. Selection is limited at this store. I’m surprised at the linear feet some items get and others don’t. Shopping will mean demolition derby type weaving through aisles full of other harried customers and employees. All in all, I’m going to other stores now, Publix(not so much) and otherwise because this one is always a nightmare to shop in. This Publix is located conveniently for me but I’m shopping elsewhere because nothing else is convenient about it.

Some areas were in need of stocking an example would be the presliced fruits, i also was not a fan of the batch of strawberries. One box had mold in it. Overall was a good shopping experience. Mark at the register was funny and made it more pleasurable.

What can I say I love shopping here! & this Publix is pretty perfect… large clean store, always nicely organized, adequately stocked, great selections & up to date food options, very friendly helpful staff, plenty of registers for checkout, & best of all they have digital coupons, plenty of BOGO’s & they accept ALL coupons! So although, shopping here is a lil pricier then other stores, they do plenty to help u save! Shopping here truly is a pleasure!

Best Publix by far that I’ve shopped at. The only downfall is the lengthy wait at the deli counter.

This new Publix is located in the Valrico Commons shopping area across the street from the old one. I LOVEIT! By far, this Publix has the most selection and variety when it comes to the products. For example, I am a big Greek yogurt fan. This Publix has at least three or four of the top different brands and many more flavors than any of the neighboring Publix stores. It is always clean and the staff always friendly. The produce is always fresh, dairy never expired, and I love the Wine section and the new Liquor store. The pharmacy is always on time and I have never had to wait. I have only had one occurrence when an item didn’t ring up as listed on the shelf, I got the item for free due to the Publix promise. I couldn’t ask for a better shopping experience. Thank you! I am a loyal customer!
