LAKELAND – Publix Super Markets Inc. plans to drop its curbside grocery service.
Publix began testing the curbside service in 2010 and currently offers it at a Citrus Park location in Tampa and two Atlanta sites.
Spokeswoman Shannon Patten said Publix Curbside service had its fans, but ultimately didn't draw enough business. The program will end on Jan. 28, she said.
"While our Curbside associates have created many loyal Curbside customers, the number of consistent customers who chose to use this service was considerably less than required to meet our predetermined expectations," Patten said in an email. "The majority of our customers love their Publix and still prefer to have the interaction with our associates."
