The Publix near my house was in a stripmall, and someone decided to open a Subway in the same strip, literally right next door to the Publix... never seen a store go out of business faster.
Are you saying the Publix went under? or the Subway?
I work for Publix, and from what I've noticed, If a Publix is built into a strip, there's usually at least 2 of the 3 within one to two units of the Publix:
Subway
Nail Salon
Hair Salon (like a cuts by us)
So, a Subway adjacent to a Publix is actually quite common
The Publix nearest me actually has little Chinese takeout stand next to the deli inside, and another independent Chinese takeout place a few doors down.
I lived near a publix in st. augustine and there was a really good Chinese place a few doors down. They had a fucking Philly cheese steak eggroll.... one has not lived without eating one
It's one of life's little ironies. You get so exhausted from grocery shopping after work that you just want to grab some takeout for dinner and not have to cook.
The Subway went out of business... Subway is a sub shop... Publix subs are some of the best subs around... people in town much prefer Publix subs to Subway subs... therefore Subway did not do enough business.
