Publix Super Market at the Shops on Gay Street 138 South Gay Street, Auburn, AL 36830

"As much as I have shopped here I will for sure shop here less if any since they changed their hours to 9pm this week in a short sighted decision. This is a college town with an active population later in the day and the 10pm close time was a big help to be able to sit down and have dinner with my family and then go to the grocery store and not have to rush. If they based this change on the past month when students are not in town and it being slower that was a short sighted move because now all of us later shoppers will have to go to Kroger or Walmart that are open until 11. I’d really hope that Publix would re-consider this move and go back to 10pm at this location. I understand the 9pm at the other Publix because that’s in more neighborhood areas but this location is special downtown. While I may still go there it will just be less because I don’t like to have to rush and I like to shop at night."

"This place is ridiculous, ESPECIALLY the security guard….. I placed an online order while I was in town and decided to leave the parking lot until my order was ready for pickup. My receipt said it would be ready in approximately 35-45 minutes so I decided to get out of my car and walk elsewhere downtown while I waited. The security guard basically had my car towed as soon as I left the parking lot! Literally within 20 minutes my car was towed. I came back and told her that I was in fact following the “rules” of the towing sign because I was a current PAYING customer and had the receipt to prove it. She was extremely rude and told me I should’ve just sat in my car and waited instead of getting out. I told her I had better things to do than just sit in my car and watch people in the parking lot like her. After reading other reviews, I see that I’m not the only one who has had a problem with the security guard here."

"This Publix is #1 in my book. My daughter and I were traveling home from Gulf Shores with a planned stop in Auburn for my grandson’s birthday. I tried for an hour to get my grocery list sent to them on the app with no luck. We were on a really tight schedule to pickup groceries, cook his birthday dinner and make it to church on time. I called the store and they helped me get my list sent and in an hour had my groceries ready to pickup. Thank you to all involved we were able to make it happen. Cooked and fed 12-14 and still made it to church on time!!!! Pam Barnes"

"Great people and service. The deli is awesome and feels like a secret spot in downtown Auburn for a quick, affordable meal to go instead of waiting in long lines elsewhere. David Salmon is the meat department manager and is one of the best in the area in my opinion. Chelsea at customer service is also very friendly and welcoming to people entering the business"

"Really just a cool chill place to go in Atlanta. There are plenty of places to grab some food or drinks here. Also it is really convenient to bring your laptop and get some homework done or just work there. Its really easy to spend a couple of hours here but just remember you have to pay for parking which is $2 an hour"
