Publix has been my go to grocery store for years. When I moved up to Charlotte in early March, I was excited to find out that the closest grocery store to my apartment was indeed Publix because Harris Teeter is very popular in NC. My several experiences at this Publix have been just as awesome as previous experiences. The staff is very friendly and will say hello as you pass them in the aisle. Each experience I've had with the cashier has been very smooth.
There is limited parking available right next to the store. Otherwise, you can go into the parking deck and take the elevator up to Publix. There is plenty of parking available.
One disappointing thing is that they have been out of ciabatta rolls a couple times I have visited. I wish they would replenish stock of that more frequently because its so good!
