Flagler Beach Publix Opens May 30th
Fifth Publix in Flagler County will open at SR 100 and Roberts Road
Palm Coast, Fl – May 25, 2009 – A Publix employee confirmed the handwritten sign at the door. Publix will open its fifth Flagler County grocery store in Flagler Beach on Saturday, May 30th at 8:00 A.M. The store is located on the northwest corner of SR 100 (Moody Blvd) and Roberts Road. Publix will be the first store to open as the anchor store in the new Beach Village shopping center there. Other retailers planning Beach Village openings soon include:
-
JMJ Tobacco Outlet
-
Kim’s Nails
-
Hair Cuttery
Building construction began last October. The Publix grocery store is 4,446 SF with 18,000 SF of adjacent retail space; 9,000 SF on either side of the grocery store. The estimated cost of the building is $6,260,900. Beach Village is being developed by North American Properties, the same company that developed the Publix-anchored plaza at the Belle Terre entrance to Town Center.
Highest gross income Publix
Of all the Publix in Flagler county, the Palm Harbor Plaza store does the most business. It may show a lowering of business with the opening of the new store in Flagler Beach, as many will want to save the gas of traveling to the Palm Harbor Plaza store, but many still will come to Palm Coast Parkway for the other stores and banks. Employees were just reassigned for the grand opening, and after the initial rush of new shoppers they may again reassign them, as the business levels off. Publix has good benefits and an impressive history that attracts employees.
