Clean, well-designed stores, excellent customer service. They are more consistent overall than Kroger or Super Walmart. In other words, you're more likely to run into a clean, well lit Publix than you are a bad one. Kroger's are more hit-and-miss depending on which one you go to.

All gushing aside, they are a bit pricey. I tend to go to Kroger more, because I have a shopper's card there.
is publix's chicken wings better than walmarts

Doesn't ATL area have like over 3 millions whites and about 1.7 million blacks?
Higher proportion in Metro Atlanta because it's 32% black compared to 16% in DFW and 18% in Greater Houston.

That being said, it also depends on where in Atlanta you are. The Southside of the metro has a higher black population than other parts of the metro area.

Come on now! You know better, LOL.

Comparing Publix's delicious chicken wings to Walmart is utter blasphemy.

I like Wing Stop better than either of them though.

Not really. Not that I'm an Atlanta expert or anything, but I haven't been all that impressed with the architecture or firms out of Atlanta. I think Atlanta's skyline is kind of over rated. I would say Houston is the best architecture over all of the three (Rice and UH, two of the best architecture programs in the country, might have something to do with that). I would say Houston definitely has the most interesting architectural history, if nothing else. Between Dallas/Fort Worth and Atlanta, I would have to say DFW.

Well you have to go and taste Publix Teriyaki wings. OMG with the lemonade or a Arizona canned drink ,OMG, just thinking about them is making my mouth water.

but walmart sides taste alot better than publix sides.

and Kroger deli is disgusting, they use a sweet bread for sandwiches. yuck.

I think it's a matter of personal preference when it comes to discussing architecture.

I LOVE Publix's Mardi Gras Wings. You are right about Walmart's sides, I will give them that.

Publix is pretty much in all of the metro areas of SC...15 in Greenville-Spartanburg; 11 in Charleston; 7 in Hilton Head and SC area of Savannah; 2 in the SC area of Augusta; and 9 in Columbia, including this very cool store historic Confederate Armory building in downtown Columbia:
