The new store, located at 7524 Dr. Phillips Blvd., measures 59,000 square feet, about 30% larger than the chain average.
In addition, the location includes a 1,500-square-foot cooking school with a staff of five chefs and a cafe, and it offers shopping and delivery services.
The newest Publix outlet is located about a mile from a Whole Foods store and a Trader Joe’s store that will open soon.
“We’re going to be all things to all people, hopefully,” a company spokesman told the Orlando Sentinel. “Everyone has different tastes and wants, and we hope to touch all of those.”
