Report: Publix to Finally Cancel Curbside Experiment at Month's End

The North Druid Hills grocery store in Toco Hills Promenade will no longer offer the service after Jan. 28.

Not sure how many of you have been using 's in Toco Hills Promenade. But if you have been, get your fill over the next three weeks.

Publix is nixing the experimental service Jan. 28, according to a report in The Tampa Tribune.

Long story short: Not enough people were using the service at the three companywide locations–including the store here–to justify the cost, the report said. One test location is in Florida. The other two are here in Georgia.

Following a news report in August that the store was canceling its curbside service in August, Publix officials told North Druid Hills-Briarcliff Patch .

That said, I gotta say, even when I hurt my foot last year, I couldn't bring myself to shell out about $8 to have someone fetch my groceries. I'm not surprised they're canning curbside.
