Publix-branded pleasure awaits in SilverLeaf.
The dominant supermarket chain will open a cavernous new location in the community next Thursday, according to the brand’s website.
The store will span 55,701 sq. ft. — one of the largest in the company’s ever-expanding portfolio of locations across Florida and the Southeast.
Publix will mark the occasion with a grand opening gala at 7 a.m. sharp at 1975 Silverleaf Parkway.
An attached 2,100 sq. ft. Publix liquor store will also fling open its doors to customers next week.
The larger format will feature a range of culinary delights, including made to order burrito bowls, sushi and a pizza oven.
The Silverleaf locale will include a Pours wine and beer bar, a popular amenity that allows shoppers to sip while shopping or saddle up to the bar for a beverage.
An organic item aisle — along with a pile of gourmet cheeses — will also be unveiled next week
