Woodland Center — Local services in Eustis

I love my "Umatilla" Publix! I know it's technically in Eustis, but it's close enough to Umatilla for me to call it ours. 😊 Everyone is so nice and personable here!! Even the managers!! Everyone is quick to help you immediately with a smile! And I think Jim, the Publix Aprons Chef, knows every customer by name!! I make my shopping list on their website and use their digital coupons to save even more money! Their website is awesome! I make my shopping list on the site at my leisure using my smartphone, then the site lists my items in order to their corresponding aisle number and gives me the option to drop down my digital coupons list I have for each aisle - no matter which Publix store I go to! Though Umatilla's Publix is my absolute favorite! Also on Wednesdays mornings, they go ahead and post the new ad that starts the next day so that you don't buy something today that you can get on sale tomorrow! Yay! I can also order bakery and deli items that I want on their website and just schedule to pick it up as soon as 15 minutes or days away! No waiting in line for sliced cheeses, deli meats, or sub sandwiches!! And with 2 young boys (ages 5 and 3) that helps tremendously! And everyone knows Publix has the BEST TASTING Bakery and Deli items (including subs!) you can buy anywhere!! And they are very kid-friendly! Free cookie for each kid with a cookie card that when punched 10x will put you in a monthly drawing for a free cookie cake! Kids can also get a free sticker or balloon (not blown up) in any color they choose. I love this place and I love...

This is a typical Publix shopping center, and is the one we use most often. It includes a rather good Hair Cuttery my wife really likes. But it doesn't have a generic Chinese restaurant like most of these centers have, instead going with a Subway that I have been to a few times without any problems, and a Domino's we haven't used. The Publix itself is fine, though they sometimes run out of their sale items. There is also a Burger King nd AT&T store in separate buildings. Sometimes leaving the shopping center can't be tricky as the parking set-up over on the Burger king side is less than ideal during heavier traffic hours. I often avoid the problem by exiting going right on 19A instead and doing a U-turn if I need to...

Was trying a different Publix since the Winn-Dixie across the street did not have fresh fish that looked good. They did not have, nor did they carry the fish I was looking for, even though the other local Publix's carried it. I purchased a couple of different types of fish, but the quality wasn't there and in fact, my second fillet spoiled before I was able to cook it the next day. Will not be purchasing fish from there again. I will head to the Publix I normally go to for my fresh fish. Other tha that, the store was clean, well stocked, and the staff...
