For my part I'm hoping that Publix chooses to locate a store in the Shoals area sometime soon. Publix may be a bit higher, on the surface, but with their Buy one get one free sales coupled with their much higher quality of items I would make them my first choice of any grocery chain. As for Walmart choosing to eliminate certain items, once you like them, I think they perfected that policy at SAM's stores for that has been their policy for a long time.
