The Publix location at 4711 Babcock St NE in Palm Bay closed its doors on July 11, said coverage by Florida Today, and it’s about to undergo a complete transformation. After nearly 50 years in operation there, the store will be entirely rebuilt.
Coverage by the Orlando Business Journal describes the project as a “multimillion-dollar demolition and reconstruction.”
Once rebuilt, the Publix store will be completely modernized with a Publix Liquor Store as well. As the Business Journal adds, “Plans were also previously filed for a new shell building for the Publix Liquor Store aspect, valued at approximately $3.87 million…”
This news comes in addition to recently revealed plans for a second Publix in Horizon West’s Hamlin Town Center. The grocery store chain is having a busy year!
“We’ve come a long way since 1930,” says the Publix website’s About Publix page. “Throughout our history, our associates and customers have helped Publix grow from a single store into the largest employee-owned company in the United States. We thank them by remaining deeply dedicated to customer service and community involvement, and being a great place to work. We’ve earned numerous awards for these efforts.”
