Okay, Super Bowl commercials are still the talk of the town! The real question is – did you fall for the CoinBase commercial and scan the QR code? The QR code got 20 million hits alone in the one minute of the ad airing – I guess curiosity really did kill the cat!

The CK Daily – Small Town Life
Good Morning and Happy Tuesday! Hope everyone is off to a strong start this week! I’ve mentioned before that I live in a fairly small-ish town (although it is growing by the day!) and I absolutely love it. There’s nothing like small-town life. The people are friendly, the traffic is manageable, and the sense of community is incredibly strong. It has a lot going for it, but one downside of living here has been the lack of a grocery store. The Piggly Wiggly closed down years ago and, since then, we have had to drive to nearby towns for grocery shopping.
Good news, though – this all changed a week or so ago when our BRAND NEW Publix grocery store finally opened! As you can imagine, it has been quite busy since its grand opening but even with the crowds, it’s a true pleasure shopping there! The store is massive (over 48,000 square feet) and, my friend recently advised me that it’s actually the first newly constructed Publix to debut a new store design that they are moving towards. The store features a full bakery, a pharmacy with a drive-thru, a deli island with some self-serve food bars, an upstairs dining area, and lots of space inside and out dedicated to online orders. It’s an exciting time for our town just to get a grocery store, but it’s even better that it’s a brand new design!
