Special Thanks to Boston BeerSpecial thanks to Boston Beer as they’re back as a partner, but this time, sampling their Truly Spiked & Sparkling and Angry Orchard Rosé. Angry Orchard Rosé is infused with a variety of apples all sourced in France. Each apple is crisp, juicy and red to the core, adding an irresistible rosy blush and apple-forward taste with a refreshing, dry finish. Truly Spiked & Sparkling will be sampling their Sicilian Blood Orange and Pomegranate flavors. Their Pomegranate flavor is a taste that cools the palate and jump starts the senses, while their Sicilian Blood Orange flavor is refreshing, sweet and mellow.

Special Thanks to PublixPublix Super Markets hopes to educate, inspire, and encourage customers to make good choices for their overall well-being and that is why we are proud supporters of the Divas® Half Marathon & 5K in North Myrtle Beach. Stop in at one of our five convenient locations across the Grand Strand to stock up on the necessary items to fuel you on race day.
