Publix

A Lakeland family pulled out all the stops for their son's 5th birthday party. He loves Publix and no detail was left out for his Publix-themed party, which included creating a store inside their home with a kid-sized scale, aprons, debit cards, and shopping carts for the little ones.

Carol Jenkins Barnett, the daughter of Publix Super Markets founder George W. Jenkins, died Tuesday at the age of 65, the company confirmed. She had been diagnosed with younger-onset Alzheimer's disease back in 2016.

3-year-old Reese, who was diagnosed with leukemia in December, would get so excited to go grocery shopping with his mom at Publix so he could drive the kids shopping cart car. He began asking to go every day -- and when a Publix employee in Florida found out, she got Reese his very own "Publix" car. She then drove eight hours up to Georgia to surprise the little boy at his home!

Kids will once again be able to get a free cookie from the Publix bakery. The supermarket chain confirmed that their free kids cookie program has been reinstated after suspending all food handouts in stores at the beginning of the pandemic.

A popular Twitter account that answers the question, "Are Publix Chicken Tender Subs On Sale?" has been abandoned after lawyers for Publix apparently objected. The person behind the account said he had received a cease-and-desist order from the grocery chain.
