Another month, another Publix opening.

The Lakeland-based supermarket chain opened three new Florida stores in August, including a huge grocery store in Coral Springs.

The nearly 55,000-square-foot North Broward location, about 10,000 square feet larger than other recent openings in Florida, opened Aug. 17 at 1285 N. University Dr.

“We are excited to welcome our customers to their new store at Ramblewood Square at Coral Springs and look forward to providing them with the premier service and quality Publix is known for,” said Lindsey Willis, Publix media relations manager, in a statement to Winsight Grocery Business.

Like several other locations in South Florida, including The Crossings in West Kendall, Publix shut down an older store and renovated and expanded the footprint.

Here’s what to know about the other Publix supermarkets that opened in Florida in August:
