It’s not hard to find a Sarasota Publix. It seems like you’re never more than a few minutes away from a store. From the Publix on Longboat Key, to all the stores on Bee Ridge. But there’s one thing we Publix shoppers all have in common. We all have a favorite.
Why is that? It’s a grocery store chain, shouldn’t all the stores be essentially the same? That would make sense, but we know it’s not true. I’m a huge fan of the Chicken Tender Pub Sub. But I know the spot I want to go to get it. Would another store make it as good? Maybe not, I’m not risking it. And maybe you’re the type that doesn’t go to your closest Publix because you prefer the fancy one with the cart escalator. People do have opinions on this.
Like, why is the Publix on Tamiami and 10th Street in Sarasota ranked so much lower than the one down the street at Bay Street and 41. Is it because of the Taco Bell next door?
How I Created the Ranking of Publix stores in Sarasota:
For whatever reason, Sarasota, Florida residents have a favorite Publix. So let’s rank ’em. All 17 of them. Let the people’s voice be heard! We used Google reviews to rank the stores. When stores have the same rating, the one with the most ratings is on top. If a LOT of people are going on google to rank a grocery store, they must be doing something right. Also, if you’re heading down to Fort Myers and need to pick up some things, here’s their rankings. If I missed a store, let me know.
