Where is Publix opening next? Supermarket planning 5 new stores in Florida and beyond

Publix is opening five new supermarkets in March, including three in Florida.

The grocery chain also opened five locations in February, including a large store, at more than 64,000 square feet, in Key Largo. This month, Publix will open a smaller store in Orlando, at less than half that size. Another supermarket is opening in Manatee County on Florida’s Gulf Coast.

And, Publix says a waterfront store under construction in Hollywood is “coming soon.”

Coming soon

Hollywood: Publix is building a waterfront supermarket in Hollywood. The company hasn’t released an opening date for the store, which is on the Intracoastal. When plans were announced for the store in 2018, to be built on a vacant lot at 3100 S. Ocean Dr. north of the Diplomat hotel, Hollywood Mayor Josh Levy had this to say: “The Publix is proposed to have cafe tables on Ocean Drive and will also have a boat dock for boaters to pull up and buy groceries for their day on the water. Great amenity for the beach and for Hollywood boaters!”
