| - I am from Florida so Publix is near and dear to my heart. This store is shiny and new. The staff is friendly and helpful. At the deli if you order the "all natural" turkey, they clean the slicer thoroughly before they slice the turkey. I've never seen that anywhere else, and it's great for those with food sensitivities who don't want cross-contamination. Favorites we buy there are the vegan bites (they have been re-named oatmeal bites) near the registers, the fresh fried chicken at the deli, and the organic Jim's coffee, which is available in bulk or bags. There is a surprising variety of high quality vitamins, supplements, herbs (such as Gaia herbal formulas) and protein products (including Quest), and I have bought them there in a pinch when I run out of something I really need. This is the only store in Mint Hill where I know I can get these quality supplements so that I don't have to drive over to Matthews. An area where you can improve, Publix, is to get some better fresh coffee offerings. There's something special about walking around the store with a cup of fresh coffee. You linger longer in the store, and buy more food. That pitiful machine at the front of the store isn't getting it done, if for no other reason than the powdered "cream" offering. No coffee lover will use powdered cream. You likely don't want to be a copycat of the place across the street, but something has to be done, preferably before the weather turns cold.
