Publix Super Market at Heron Creek Towne Center 1291 South Sumter Boulevard, North Port, FL 34287

"The quality of produce is repeatedly terrible, yet the prices have increased, I wouldn't mind the price increase if the quality had at least remained the same but everything is terrible. Strawberries are either half rotten or not ripe and hard in the center, the bananas are in very bad shape some of them actually have little holes in them. Most fruit is either hard as a rock or rotted. Enough to make me switch to a different store. Publix needs to correct this."

"They have been AWESOME! Great fried chicken--we special ordered and were EXTREMELY pleased! Great dessert choices. Incredible cupcakes--we special ordered and they were so fresh --delicious!"

"Worst Publix I've ever been in. I would've given 1 star but the day shift people are mostly ok. Management really needs to do something about the young bagger's!!!! They act like they're only there because their parents made them get a job. Very rude and don't pay attention to what they're doing. They all need a lesson in bagging groceries and not to put heavy bags on top of things like subs and bread!!! And the deli makes way too many mistakes!!! Poor management. Even some of the people who are supposed to be in charge are rude!!!"

"Emilie in bakery is amazing, she helped me make my daughter’s birthday special and was the kindest. Very knowledgeable and posses great listening skills and positive attitude. This is why this is my favorite Publix location. Jessica in the deli department is also amazing, always gets my order right and listens attentively."

"Not only does Publix make the best subs around, they have a superb produce department, great bottled water, meat dept. , and very helpful staff."
