How to find a Publix near you

Publix provides an online location finder where you can search by city, ZIP code, or your current location to see nearby stores and services like pharmacy, bakery, or liquor stores. Third‑party “store locator” and mapping sites also list Publix locations, but the official locator tends to be the most accurate and up to date.

If you’re traveling, a good rule of thumb is: once you’re in Florida or its neighboring Southeastern states, you’re in Publix territory.

TL;DR: Publix stores are mainly in Florida and the broader Southeastern U.S. (FL, GA, AL, SC, NC, TN, VA, KY), with over a thousand supermarkets spread across these states.
