Love Publix's and I hope they have some areas to hang and study

clemson already had a food lion and winn dixie close down. publix is expensive and since most of clemson is college students, no one is going to shop there. and i hate that they are going to put it on freedom drive. i guess they will just tear down all of those pretty trees. if it is necessary to have a publix here, why didn't they use one of the vacant grocery stores? i give it at the most 6 months before it closes down.

Holli, Winn Dixie closed down ALL of its stores in South Carolina; it was not a function of its viability in Clemson. As for Food Lion, it suffered from bad visibility. I didn't even know it was there.

Food Lion was offering about the same stuff as BILO, but not as fresh. I went there when it first opened, thinking it would offer more natural or organic foods, as they supposedly promised. Found half rotten stuff in the brand new store and swore never to go in again.
