A ton of grocery stores remain open on holidays such as Thanksgiving and Easter, and more businesses remain closed on Christmas Day to allow employees to spend time with their families. But what about Publix? Is Publix open this year on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day?
Here is all you should know about Publix’s holiday hours.
Overview
Publix is the type of store that appears to exist to fulfil all of your grocery shopping desires and needs. Not only can you get staple foods and household items, but the sub-selection and bakery options are truly unrivalled (subjectively, of course.) Consider them the ideal solution for when you need pre-made Christmas appetisers at the last minute or don’t have time to make a homemade dessert. And if you’re a store regular or even vaguely familiar with a nearby location, it’s natural to be curious about the grocery chain’s holiday hours.
While most holidays (such as New Year’s Eve) allow customers to shop at Publix as usual, Christmas is an exception.
Is Publix Open on Christmas Day?
Publix is closed on Christmas Day, so you’ll have to look elsewhere for your grocery needs. While this may necessitate some additional driving around to complete your Christmas shopping, the store’s closure is ultimately beneficial.
“Our stores will be closed on Christmas Day to allow our associates to spend time with family and friends,” a Publix representative reveals.
Even if Publix is closed on Christmas, there are other grocery stores open on the holiday. While these stores may have limited options, because the majority of them are convenience stores, you should be able to pick up extra milk, eggs, and the like.
Does Publix Stay Open on Christmas Eve?
Although Publix is closed on Christmas Day, the store will be open on Christmas Eve from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. this year. Publix, like many other grocery stores, has shortened hours on Christmas Eve. Many stores close before 7 p.m., so plan to go by midday on December 24 at the very latest. While you’re at it, review other stores’ Christmas hours as well as dollar stores open on Christmas in case you run out of Christmas gift wrapping paper.
Is Publix Closed on holidays?
Publix stores are only closed three days a year, during the holidays of Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter. Publix stores in Florida are open on federal holidays such as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Memorial Day, the Fourth of July, and Labor Day, though some may close early.
The Lakeland-based grocery chain does close early on Christmas Eve, New Year’s Eve, and New Year’s Day, with open and closing times posted on store signs before the holidays. An Oct. 5 online check reveals that Publix does not list holiday opening and closing times on its website; shoppers can select Publix locations for store hours and other details.
According to a notice on the corporate website, “Since our founding, we have been closed on these three holidays in observance of the holiday and to allow our associates time with family and friends.”
