Publix will officially welcome patrons to the renovated store on at 7 a.m. July 2, Publix Media Relations Manager Hannah Herring said.
“The new store brings shopping back to the local community, offering customers a convenient place to shop, gather and enjoy fresh, ready-to-eat options,” Herring said.
The new, 58,834-square-foot grocery store, 1421 Sadler Road will feature Publix’s new “Pours” concept, where customers can order smoothies, acai bowls or grab a drink while they shop. The store will feature options like burrito bowls and it has a pizza oven in the deli.
“Our Island Walk Publix will open as our newer, larger format where customers can enjoy expanded offerings like burrito bowls and a pizza oven in the deli,” Herring previously told the News-Leader. “There will also be a Pours area where customers can order smoothies, acai bowls or grab a drink and sip while they shop. We look forward to reopening and welcoming back customers to try all the new offerings.”
It would mark the long-awaited return of the island’s second closed grocery store after ALDI opened in the renovated former Winn-Dixie in March.
