Palm Bay, FL – November 13, 2024 – A new Publix supermarket is scheduled to open at 9179 Babcock Street SE on December 5, 2024. This addition is set to enhance shopping convenience for the community and support the growth of southern Palm Bay, an area currently experiencing rapid development with over 3,000 new housing units underway.
A Modern Shopping Experience
The new Publix will feature a modern two-story design. On the first floor, shoppers will find all the essentials that make Publix a popular destination, including fresh produce, bakery goods, and household necessities. Upstairs, the store will offer a dining area where customers can relax and enjoy their purchases.

The two-story approach, with separate dining and shopping areas, aims to improve customer flow and enhance overall convenience, reflecting Publix's commitment to creating an engaging shopping experience centered on comfort and ease.
Community Impact and Employment Opportunities
Strategically located west of I-95 in southern Palm Bay, the new Publix is expected to be a major convenience for the growing local population. With thousands of new homes being built nearby, the store will be a welcomed addition, making shopping easier for residents in southern Palm Bay and reducing the need to travel long distances for groceries.
In addition to improving shopping convenience, the new Publix will also bring a range of employment opportunities to the area. Publix is actively hiring staff for various roles, and interested individuals can apply through the Publix careers website or attend local hiring events. By providing stable jobs for the community, Publix aims to contribute positively to the local economy and support Palm Bay's ongoing growth.
