Publix Expands Store Hours

Starting Saturday, May 16, Publix stores will be open daily from 7 a.m. – 9 p.m. and pharmacy will return to normal operating hours. Designated shopping hours for customers over the age of 65, first responders and health care workers are being discontinued; however, Publix encourages customers who prefer to shop when the store is less crowded to come in during the 7 a.m. hour.

Each store will continue to support social distancing and the well-being of our associates and customers by:

• conducting additional cleaning and preventive sanitation before and after store hours, including sanitizing high-touch surfaces frequently throughout the day
• requiring associates to wear face coverings and allowing associates to wear disposable, non-latex gloves where not prohibited by OSHA regulations
• encouraging 6-foot separation through:
  • regular intercom announcements
  • signage and floor decals and
  • one-way shopping aisles
• having Plexiglass shields at all registers, pharmacies and customer service counters
• promoting contactless pay and
• allowing store managers to limit the number of customers inside stores.
