Publix #834 Revisited: Post-Remodel

Publix #834

16560 N. Nebraska Ave, Tampa, FL - Apex Shopping Center

This Publix store opened in 2003, and was one of the final stores to open with the Metallic Marketplace interior. This is also one of the 61M Publix stores as noted by the two exit doors in the center.

Unlike our previous visit, we are about to enter through the pharmacy, instead of the grocery entrance.

If I am correct, the word ENTRANCE was removed to make way for a walk in care sign. The 16560 (address) is 2003 original.

There are three welcome signs in this store. From the pharmacy entrance, there is a welcome sign (Welcome to Apex Publix) that was printed out in Microsoft Word, and the more common Publix welcome sign.

This is one huge store! After entering, you can see either the grocery departments or health and beauty.

The redone pharmacy counter, complete with a telehealth station and a walk in clinic.

Aisle 1. Straight ahead is dairy.

Dairy coolers, along with the main dairy sign, which represents cheese.

To the left are aisles 4 to 15, and to the right are dairy and the service departments.

Aisle 13 begins the frozen food section of the store. Beer can be found in aisle 12.

Produce, bakery, seafood and meat are all found in the store's last aisle, aisle 15.

Prepackaged meats are found in this section of the meat department. After meats is the wine department.

The updated bakery department. Now it is just a wall, instead of those elements as seen before.

Signage for the floral department, even though that there is no sign of floral located at the bakery! Instead, it is located after you walk in through the grocery entrance.

Some more upgrades in this store is the deli department. Located on floor 2, are employee break rooms and meeting rooms.

Publix store 834's aisles today...

...compared to our 2016 visit.

The store's checkout layout reminds me of Walmart stores. Express lanes are located on checkouts 1, 2, and 7. There are a total of 10 checkouts in this store.

The store's thank you sign, as seen from above the checkouts and located at checkout lane 3.

The main exit doors, with the words EXIT ONLY, a variation of the regular pastel/metallic interior's text.
