I’m making the switch and I can’t believe it.
There is a new Kroger across the street from our publix. I checked it out yesterday and was in shock of how nice it was, with low prices, better selection, and some cool new conveniences, like:
A full bar...yes, they have a full functioning pub in the smack middle of the store. I don’t see myself drinking a few in the grocery store, but you have to admire their effort.
Beer and wine selection is very robust.
Meat section looks close to what you see at Wholefoods, not quite as nice, but very close.
It has a Starbucks
They give you a scanner while you shop. The scanner shows your total as you add items and allows you to bag and check out items without having to stand in a line. Once you are done shopping you simply scan credit card and leave, it’s a pretty sweet feature.
Lastly, they have a gas program similar to Winndixie where you get a discount. They also have a gas station in the parking lot with already low gas prices.
Haven’t checked out the deli with their fresh sandwiches, but they have boars head meats, so I couldn’t imagine it being too bad.
Anyhow, Publix is going to have to step it up in order to compete moving forward.
And did I mention they have a better selection and lower prices.
