I have lived in Sarasota for most of my life and have been a real estate broker in Sarasota since 1988. I am blessed to have the love of my wife Opal and our two daughters, Katie and Victoria. I can be reached on my direct line at 941-650-4626.
This new publix will be very convenient for those of us living east of I75, although I am concerned about the size of the new store. This store is going to be very small. I hear it’s going to be the same size as the one downtown near the boat ramps(1/3 the size of a normal publix).So that leads me to believe the selection will be small as well. I think I will still travel to the one on cattlemen although it is usually pretty busy.
I am very happy with the size. I never thought we would see a store of any kind there. No more trips west of 75 for milk or a loaf of bread. It is going to be a very welcome addition to this part of town. Now, if we could just have Iona Road go thru to Fruitville Road. How great that would be?
