Publix opened a new 55,454-square-foot supermarket March 12 at 6605 38th Ave. in St. Petersburg, adding a full-format location with an indoor seating area and an adjacent Publix Liquors to the city’s northwest side.
Lindsey Willis, Publix’s media relations manager, said the store was designed with comfort and convenience in mind.
“This store brings together the quality and service our customers know and love, along with thoughtful touches like an indoor seating area where customers can sit and enjoy their Publix favorites,” Willis said.
The new location includes Publix’s full traditional department lineup: a full-service deli with more than 200 artisan cheeses and an international olive and antipasto selection; a scratch bakery producing fresh breads and custom cakes throughout the day; a meat department with GreenWise all-natural and organic chicken; and a seafood counter with fresh, never-frozen fish and daily hand-rolled sushi.
The pharmacy offers a full-service prescription counter alongside vitamins, minerals and body care products. Publix Delivery, powered by Instacart, is available at the location.
A motorized Publix shopping cart traveled around the community on opening day as part of the store’s grand opening celebration.

Love my Publix at 34th and 17th but will definitely be visiting the new one. Usually get my fruits and vegetables because they are always of great quality
