Publix Closures Florida Courses

Publix is a revered supermarket chain in the US state of Florida. Over the past few weeks, the state has experienced an increasing number of forced store closures due to the ongoing pandemic. The Florida-based supermarket chain is the latest to take the preventative measure of closing its stores within the state, with 22 stores closing as of March 30, 2020. The closures, effective immediately, follow a mandate from Gov. Ron DeSantis to reduce onsite hours for supermarkets statewide. This new requirement is part of his effort to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in Florida. Each Publix store hours will now be impacted, with stores operating at 10:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m. The closures come on the heels of the state’s implementation of a shelter-in-place order, which has closed businesses such as restaurants and retail stores, as well as all schools in the state. Unfortunately, this will have various implications for those who rely on Publix for their grocery needs, as the affected locations may be for miles away from their homes. Despite the store closures, customers can still order groceries from Publix and have them delivered contact-free. Additionally, customers who require additional assistance can call the Publix Customer Care team for support. As COVID-19 continues to spread, Publix will continue to monitor the situation in Florida and make changes to store operations as needed. Rest assured that Publix is committed to maintaining the health and safety of its customers and employees during this difficult time.
