We all have opinions on which is the best Publix. Where I live, I have 3 different Publix I could go to, all within about 5 minutes of each other. Do I have a favorite? Yes. Is there another Publix that might be a little closer? Also yes. But why? Shouldn't all Publix be the same? They should, but they're not. Some are better than others, for whatever reason. That's why I decided to rank all of the Cape Coral Publix stores. We'll go from top to bottom.
So what started this? Everyone has an opinion. I can go even one step further. There's a lot of Publix stores in Southwest Florida. So, I like going to one Publix, but then prefer the liquor store next to a different Publix. In this case, it's the woman who's usually working at that Publix Liquors. She's hilarious. So I buy my vodka and Coronas from a location different from where I get groceries and losing lottery tickets. I really need to give up that habit. Not the vodka, the lottery tickets.
How I Created The Cape Coral Publix Rankings.
According to the Publix website, there's 10 Publix stores in and very near Cape Coral, Florida. Personally, I've been to the one at Santa Barbara and Cape Coral Parkway West the most. Taking my thoughts out of this, I went to Google reviews. Since many of the stores have a similar review summary number, I added in the number of reviews. If you have a lot of people that take the time to review a grocery store, and you still have a high ranking - you must be doing something right. And yes, one of these is technically North Fort Myers, I know. Once you get into northern Cape Coral, I never really notice when I cross into North Fort Myers.

But all of the Publix Stores have fairly high rankings
Right. Because we love Publix. That's the only place I can get a Pub Sub. Sure, we may go to Aldi's for some things. You may even go to Wal Mart and pick up some groceries. But if you live in Southwest Florida, you shop at Publix. I'll include one final thought - this magic moment:
