Crystal Beach Palm Harbor Welcomes Publix!
Living in Crystal Beach Palm Harbor Fl just got about 100 steps closer to Nirvana. Last Friday, Publix grocery opened their new Crystal Beach Publix at the corner of Alt. 19 and Alderman Road behind The Lucky Dill restaurant. The day of the opening was actually HILARIOUS … something out of Steve Martin movie, for sure ….

Crystal Beach Florida Homes Have Spankin' New Publix Supermarket!
The place was packed like no grocery we’ve ever seen. People were laughing, joking, talking about how great it was to have a well-stocked store on the West side of Palm Harbor at last! Every time we’ve been in since, it’s the been the same … albeit less crowded. Makes me think of REM’s Shinny Happy People song (dorky, yeah, I know…).
Oh, and opening night, there was this perhaps 90 year old lovable gal that swiped our half-full grocery cart – NOT by accident! When I went to reclaim it, I explained it was ours. She said “Honey, someone took mine, so I thought I’d take yours, becuase it looks like what you’re cooking is a lot better than what I had planned!”. She was good natured and we laughed, until ….
She realized I REALLY DID want my cart back. Then she got very ticked off and started cursing and waving her finger at me and the store manager, who fortunately came to the rescue. He handled us both with grace and mirrored Suncoast Partners’ beliefs about customer service.
OK, almost everyone was happy happy.
