An angry but helpful PSA

Albertson (my favorite and regular grocery store) on Wekiva Springs in Altamonte /Longwood is closing.      Right now most things are 10-20 percent off but cards, and a few other items are 50%.  

 

I'm so sad, the clerk said they were bought out by publix.   I really don't like publix. :(  plus there are two other publix's within 2 minutes (both ways) of this store....do they REALLY need another?

Re: An angry but helpful PSA

  • I am so mad about this too.  I work 30 seconds from the Albertsons in Lake Mary and go to their salad bar for lunch at least a few times most weeks.  I can get a yummy salad w/out spending $8 like at Panera and Crispers.  ERRRR!  <-------  me being angry  :)
  • I feel like there are Publixs everywhere...Albertsons is so much cheaper. :(
  • Crispers is good but it's so expensive...no wonder too because they are also owned by Publix :-P

  • Thats my local Albertsons too Alicia. I feel your pain! Rumor has it that Publix is making the old Albertsons stores Greenwise stores. Which kind of blows my mind in this economy. I guess we won't really know for sure till it happens!

    As in all Greenwise products?  That would be great for me, because we don't have any Whole Foods, etc. around here!  But sorry it stinks for you!

  • Wow- I haven't been in an Albertson's that didn't gross me out in years and years! I know there are a few around- but, the bulk of them may as well be Winn Dixie, to me! :-p

    I'd LOVE it if the one by us turned into Greenwise- but, I doubt it would work well in this area. A girl can dream, though. 

  • I just called the nearest one to me, and they're closing as well.  So I'm off to find some good deals!!  Thanks for the heads up  Smile
  • Alicia, if you don't mind me asking, why do you dislike Publix?

    I shop there because it's the only grocery store close to my house (the one on 434 near Maitland Blvd.) but in general I like them best. They tend to keep their store cleaner and have better/fresher foods compared to Albertson's and Winn Dixie. And since they have a lot of traffic you know that everything is fresh. When I was in the Keys we went to Winn Dixie b/c it was close and we got cream cheese...when we opened it, it was extra hard and then there was watery stuff on the bottom...it was gross.

  • I know. There are three Publixes within 3 miles of my house so I doubt they are going to make the Heathrow Albertson's another Publix.  Besides, I liked going to the liquor store there, it had the best prices.
  • Wow!  I go to this store as well, I live very close by.   haven't been there for a couple days and I didn't see anything like this coming.  This sucks!
