About 200 people, maybe more,
streamed into Statesboro’s new Publix supermarket in the first 10 minutes it
was open. Among those already in line when the ribbon was cut at 7 a.m. Wednesday, some have been driving almost an hour each way to shop at Publix
stores in Pooler, and a few remembered the previous Statesboro Publix.
