There are two things Floridians will always show up for: grabbing water before a hurricane and a Publix Pub Sub. If you’re from here, you already know Publix isn’t just a grocery store. It’s a lifestyle. So when new locations start popping up across the state, it’s a big deal. More subs, more bakery runs, more last-minute dinner saves, and more debates over which Pub Sub is the best.
This spring, Publix is expanding across Florida in a big way. Several new stores are opening from St. Augustine to Winter Haven, plus a massive “Mega Publix” planned for North Miami. Whether you’re loyal to your neighborhood store or will drive for a perfectly toasted sub, this is good news. It means more chances to experience that “Where Shopping Is a Pleasure” magic. Here’s every new Publix coming to Florida this spring and beyond.
