BRADENTON – A new Publix opens in Manatee County on State Road 64.
This is a growing Manatee County corridor. The store is more than 48,000 square feet. It features an olive bar and has an upstairs seating area accessible by elevator or stairs. A Publix spokeswoman tells the Herald-Tribune that this store prototype — with a deli island and upstairs seating — is going to open in many areas.
The Publix is located at 13150 State Road 64 East in Bradenton. One customer told the Herald-Tribune that he and his wife live close to the Publix and moved there “to get away from the commotion in Lakewood Ranch, but I guess everything grew up around us.”
