I certainly hope not
It is the desire of my heart to have a good quality grocery store to shop at. I don't mind shopping at Walmart because they do carry a huge assortment of groceries that I use throughout the year, i.e. parmigiano reggiano, Matzo bread, plaintains, turkey sausage, etc. However I would for once like to GROCERY shop in the store where I don't have to compete with 300 other individuals because they're shopping for tires, glasses, plants, soil, grills, treadmills, fish, family photos, haircuts...lol...Of course I am being facetious but this is what I get at Wal-mart. I have to do grocery shopping in a Mall. Besides that Walmart if very limited in carrying Organic foods. We as humans need to take notice of what we put into our bodies. So yes, I am thrilled that I can buy fresh pizza dough at Publix that'll contain only water, flour, egg, and oil. I am so over eating stuff that has ingredients that I can't pronounce let alone recognize.
Anyway, It don't think Publix is for the uppity. It truly depends on the location of the store. I just hope it does well. I have been asking God to send either a Publix or Whole Foods to this area since I moved here 4 yrs ago.
My goodness! If we a Dunkin Donuts...I may never move
