TAMPA – Publix today quietly launched a grocery pickup service squarely targeted at the busiest of its customers.
At a test location in Tampa and Atlanta, customers can pre-order their groceries online, and pick them up at a special curbside pickup spot at the store – similar to curbside pickup offered by many restaurants.
The first two store locations are in Atlanta, and one in Tampa opening up today at 7835 Gunn Highway near the Westfield Citrus Park shopping mall. Publix officials say they will monitor the service for about a year before deciding whether to offer it at other stores.
"Whoever I shop for is going to love it – especially for produce because I'm so, so picky myself," said Rachel Tran, a Publix Curbside Personal Shopper at the Citrus Park location.
