PUBLIX OPENS NEW STORE ON LONGBOAT KEY
About eight months after it closed its store
in the Shoppes of Bay Isles on Longboat Key,
Publix welcomed people to a brand new store
during a grand opening on Dec. 13.
The 49,000-square-foot facility will employ
about 200 people, according to a Publix news
release.
Along with full-service departments such as
a bakery, deli, floral planning and event planning, the store even offers wi-fi to customers.
The store will be open seven days a week
from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., the news release notes.
