TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) — More than a year after the coronavirus pandemic abruptly halted a Publix tradition, the Florida-based supermarket has resumed giving out free cookies to children.
Publix spokeswoman Nicole Krauss confirmed Monday that the practice has been reinstated company-wide.
The supermarket chain paused the practice in March 2020 at the onset of the pandemic.
Although not necessarily advertised, Publix's courtesy cookie program for children has been a saving grace for many parents shopping for groceries with their sons or daughters.
As of Saturday, fully vaccinated Publix shoppers or employees are no longer required to wear masks.
