Supermarket near Kissimmee Old Town

We are doing a split stay, and the first half of our holiday is in Kissimmee near the Old Town (Comfort Suites Maingate East). We aren't hiring a car, and I wondered if there were any large supermarkets close by?

We'll do a Garden Grocer order for the heavy stuff (cases of water etc) but we like having a look at the full selection, and previously have only been to the Publix near the outlets at the South end of I-Drive (when we were staying at WDW).

Thanks!

The Publix at Celebration (Water Tower) is walkable. There is a footpath. It will take you about 10 minutes, but it will depends on the heat and how much shopping you are carrying.

No advice, just wanted to say that we're staying at Comfort Suites Maingate East too, looks like we arrive around the same time going by our countdowns

I've never walked it, we usually have that much shopping to bring back it would be impossible! You could maybe walk there & get a taxi back if you have too much to carry.
