What's the deal with the elevators?

[Jangler]

Never been to a Publix before, but do all of them have elevators and stairs, STAIRS! to enter just to do some grocery shopping?

also why would you plant trees right in front of the sign?

This new one in WS has a parking garage and the store is on top of that.

Never seen one with elevators here in Georgia.

Yeah i was slotted to go to that store but changed my mind. That's meant to be an upscale store far from the norm. I was told it was supposed to be two stories with a cafe on the 2nd floor as well as other amenities.

That's because the dumb fugging rednecks in GA would try hauling the completely loaded shopping carts down the stairs to their cars after checking out.

It's becoming more commonplace with new grocery stores, due to a number of factors

1. less parcels in prime locations are big enough to accomodate the size of a large grocery store and parking

2. stormwater regulations are making it really hard to building big expansive parking areas, so more stores are going to parking beneath

3. environmental certification programs like LEED are encouraging more compact designs with less exposed pavement

Yessir. We have no less than 145 city-monitored stormwater retention ponds (BMPs). And it's not just grocery stores, it's any structure which impacts surface drainage of stormwater.

Speaking of grocery stores. The most impressive I have ever seen was the Super Wegman's in upstate Rochester NY. I haven't been the same since. Anyone here ever seen one of these?

[Still Brooklyn]

A regular Wegmans is opening a block from me next year. I'm psyched. I hear so many good things about them.

Can't be more impressive than our local Food Lions.
