The new Publix will feature an upstairs area with indoor and outdoor seating, a full-service bakery, a drive-thru pharmacy, a liquor store, and a deli, in addition to the meat, seafood, produce, frozen, and dairy departments.
At 48,387 square feet, it’s an average-size Publix. The 13 most recently opened and planned stores across the United States since May 1 range from 29,495 square feet to 55,701 square feet, according to Publix’s website. The median size is 48,387 square feet.
