It’s been more than 90 years since Mr. George opened his first Publix store in Winter Haven, Florida. Since then, we’ve grown to be in 7 states and operate a whopping 1,281 stores. But not all Publix stores are built alike.  

In honor of our anniversary in September, let’s visit some of our most unique stores: from historic distilleries to boat docks to our latest endeavors.

#1095, Columbia, South Carolina

We gave an old building a new lease on life when we took over this store in 2004. Originally built in 1862, it was first a Confederate Mint that was used to print money during the Civil War before becoming a distillery. The location has even found a home on the National Register of Historic Places.

#1149, Treasure Island, Florida

Set sail from Publix and embrace the Florida lifestyle when you visit this store on the Gulf Coast, complete with its own boat dock.

#621, Miami

While you can’t drop anchor in the parking lot of this Publix, you can still feel like a sailor. The creative boat design truly embodies the culture of Miami and has won numerous awards.

#1211, Nashville, Tennessee

We leveled up with this store — literally. This Nashville-based Publix was the first store to have below-ground parking!

#1721, Tampa, Florida

Our newest Publix GreenWise Market is on the ground level of a residential and retail tower in the bustling Water Side District in Tampa, Florida. The facade adds to the upscale environment for patrons in the area.

#1734, Lakeland, Florida

This store has outdoor balcony seating — so you can enjoy your favorite Publix treats right outside!
