Publix expanding to NC.

Hopefully grand opening is early 2014! I'm excited! i may get to move back to NC to be with family after all!

Publix is the best grocery store ever... Other than the commissary of course.

never shopped there before but have heard more than one person be exited about it...a grcery store... so I guess it should be awesome.

I like HT, like how clean it is and food is always fresh, HT just b ought lowes food too, HT's monopoly here in NC will be hard to match

Are the female cashiers topless? Thats about the only way I would get excited over a grocery store. :)

Never heard of it. Hope they open in Harrisburg and Food lion dies a horrible death.

Do they require those dumb little VIP cards ? If not, then they will already be 1 up on HT, Food Lion, etc....

I live in Atlanta where Publix dominates. Publix is a decent store for your basics but having lived in NC for many years before moving to Atlanta, I definitely miss the relative quality of the meat and seafood departments at Harris Teeter relative to Publix. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that HT has wonderful meat and seafood departments, but they are certainly better than Publix at the average store. I go to the Farmers Market, a butcher, or Whole Foods to get all my meat and seafood because Publix is terrible. Their produce is acceptable but I'd still prefer Harris Teeter.

It's nothing to get excited about.

There are no discount cards akin to the VIC card. Just regular sales and they are almost exclusively 2 for 1.

I hear Publix subs are the tits.

Alright, this I can confirm.

Depends on your store. Some meat departments are better than others. For example our meat and seafood are amazing at my store but our Deli sucks. I work there so it's good news for me. I'd like to be closer to family.

Fwiw, we shop at three different places. Food Lion for the basics like flour, canned goods, milk and some produce. Lowes foods for high quality meat, and Sam's club for items that can be bought in bulk. My wife has 50lbs bags of rice and other staples.

Fwiw, our Food Lion is great. Its clean, the people are friendly, and its convenient.

Publix has amazing customer service and very clean stores. There is one near me that opened about 18 years ago and it still looks nice.

[The Saltman]

publix has great subs. but they are overpriced unless you like paying more for groceries.

Kroger is better

[SCMunnerlyn1]

Publix is the poo. But only for bargain grocery shopping. You're paying over unless you buy things on sale. Check out their Deli though they make some awesome hot wings.

I'm still holding out on Piggly Wiggly coming back up here.
