I know where I am going tomorrow

 

Place was a madhouse yesterday. Had to drive by it to get to work, had 2 wreaks at different points, plus a line to get in (of cars, no idea on people).

I think Ill wait a week. I go by most days to get to work.

 

Publix in Wake Forest

Well looks like Publix is going to open a store in Wake forest now

What is so great about Publix... I have never been to one. Tell me more!

 

Nothing really! Think of it like a much bigger combination Harris Teeter/Fresh Market with Lowes Foods pricing. Big, clean stores but nothing I am willing to drive to Cary or Wake Forest for.

 

I am looking forward to Aldi ' s opening in Garner; I think in December.

 

Where in Garner is it opening?

 

Aversboro and Timber DR

Yes, it is right behind CVS.

 

So Rocky how was it? Everything you've been wanting?

You feel about Publix, the way we feel about Wegman's. Glad your wish came true, almost (I don't think we will see either of these in Johnston county)

 

It was everything I wanted but still they did not carry the Seagram's Raspberry Ginger Ale. I asked the coke guy (coke distributes Seagrams) and he said their distributorship doesn't carry it. But a lot of times if you go to the customer service desk at Publix they can special order it for you.

I think the closest we will see of Publix is Cary and Raleigh. It would be nice to see them even come out to Garner.

For me what would be a dream come true is where McLemore Road meets Cleveland school road, add a traffic light there and that big open farm (where the old yellow house is) have a shopping plaza with a Publix, Harris Teeter or Whole foods as the anchor store.

 

Yeah, a shopping center there sure would be dream...a nightmare!

 

you can say that again ..... :jester:


wait, you did.

 

Oops. :jester:

 

Let's not forget Trader Joe's.

 

Oh speaking about that area, has anyone shopped at "Earthworks"? We keep saying we are going to go over there and then forget, until we pass by it again. How are the prices and quality of plants?

 

Haven't been to the one on Cleveland, but I did get a fig tree from their Raleigh Farmers' Market location - good quality and couldn't beat the price.

 

Ah, thought the name looked familiar. Thanks for the post.

 

Publix is expanding the medical coverage for employees starting the first of the year.

 

:hurray:
