Fort Myers Publix Welcomes Shoppers Back With New Look and Additions After 14-Month Makeover

After more than a year of work, the Daniels Crossing Publix in Fort Myers opened its doors again on Sept. 11, 2025. The 48,387-square-foot store now has an upstairs eating area with Wi-Fi and new food stations.

"We are excited to bring our customers some new offerings like sushi bowls and different items within the deli and bakery," said Lindsey Willis, a Publix spokesperson, according to WINK News.

A bigger deli now serves up olives, sushi, and poke bowls. Next door, a brand-new Publix Liquors welcomes customers. Food fans will spot over 200 kinds of cheese at the deli. Fish and seafood are from both farms and wild waters.

"They don't compare; this is the best one!" said Gary Holmes, a resident, per WINK News about the updated store.

As the largest worker-owned business in America, Publix runs 1,416 stores across eight southern states. With its team of 260,000 workers, the chain has earned spots on Fortune's best workplace list for nearly three decades.

Doors open at 7 a.m. and close at 10 p.m. daily. The pharmacy is open 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekdays, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturdays, and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sundays.
