A brand-new Publix grocery store is opening its doors in Hollywood Beach, Florida, bringing a much-anticipated grocery option to both local residents and tourists alike. Set to open on December 12, 2024, this 29,912-square-foot store is located at 3100 South Ocean Drive, strategically placed between high-rise condos and across the street from The Diplomat hotel. With its proximity to popular beach destinations and the area’s booming development, this Publix is poised to become a key part of the neighborhood.
A Unique Dockside Experience
What makes this Publix truly unique is its dockside access—a first for the Hollywood Beach area and the third Publix of its kind in Florida. Customers who enjoy the coastal lifestyle can now easily access groceries via their boats. With a dedicated dock where boaters can pull up and shop, this store takes advantage of the beachy, waterfront atmosphere that defines much of South Florida living.
For those arriving by land, the store offers three levels—including two levels of garage parking—with the grocery store itself located on the third floor.
As an added bonus, the store features a designated seating area inside and benches on the main dock, perfect for enjoying a quick Publix sub or one of their popular grab-and-go items while overlooking the water. It’s clear that Publix is making an effort to provide a relaxing, coastal shopping experience that appeals to both convenience and leisure.
A Much-Needed Addition for the Area
This new Publix location isn’t just beneficial for Hollywood Beach residents; it will also ease congestion at nearby Publix stores in Hallandale Beach, East Hollywood, Dania Beach, and Sunny Isles Beach. With its prime location, Hollywood Beach residents will now have a grocery store close to home, meaning less traffic at the other locations and a more streamlined shopping experience for everyone.
A Brief History of the Site
The site was purchased in 2019 for $4.5 million, and since then, it’s been transformed into a state-of-the-art Publix. The 49,375-square foot property is surrounded by high-rise condo buildings and positioned across from The Diplomat, the store’s location ensures it will serve both full-time residents and seasonal visitors who flock to the area year-round.
Ribbon Cutting Ceremony and Grand Opening
The grand opening celebration will kick off at 7 a.m. on December 12, 2024, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony in front of the store. Publix is inviting locals and visitors to attend this exciting event and be some of the first to shop in the new location. Whether you’re picking up your weekly groceries, grabbing a fresh sandwich, or just exploring the space, there’s something for everyone at this one-of-a-kind store.
More Than Just Groceries: A Waterfront Publix Experience
In addition to its waterfront docking area, this Publix will offer all the standard services and amenities you’d expect from the beloved grocery chain, including fresh produce, deli options, bakery treats, and much more. However, it’s the unique combination of location, convenience, and leisure that really sets this store apart.
