Tallahassee Shopping

Without a doubt, THE best supermarkets in Tallahassee belong to the highly successful Publix chain. Headquartered in Lakeland, Florida, Publix has been running clean and friendly supermarkets for 75 years.

What you get at Publix is consistency. Always clean, always well-stocked, always friendly service. And, they have everything that you'd expect of a top-notch supermarket.

Deli, bakery, fresh seafood, butcher meat shop, lots of ethnic foods, a darned good wine selection for a supermarket, too. (they have expensive and well-regarded wines, as well as the usual grocery store also-ran from Lodi. : )

Publix motto is "where shopping is a pleasure". There are three other chains operating stores in the greater Tallahassee area. There's a reason that Publix is about to put them all out of business. Publix is part of Tallahassee's social fabric.

What to buy: Groceries, prepared deli foods, wine & beer, odds and ends, basically whatever you'd need from a supermarket.

What to pay: Their prices are pretty much average. Look for lots of "buy one, get one free items", a Publix specialty.
