Publix Hours: Today’s Open & Close Times, Holiday & Sunday Hours

What Time Does Publix Open and Close? Store Hours Today

Publix runs a steady 7:00 AM opening, but the closing time is chosen store by store. Three stores read on October 13, 2026 show how far the schedule can stretch.

A quick scan of Atlanta listings showed most stores closing at 10:00 PM, with an 11:00 PM close at Buckhead Landing. In the Tampa area, pharmacy listings showed a 9:00 PM close that evening.

Publix Pharmacy Hours and Sunday Hours

A Publix pharmacy closes well before the grocery aisles and takes a shorter Sunday.

• Two different Atlanta stores printed exactly the same pharmacy schedule, so the pattern looks consistent in the metro area, but Publix lets each store publish its own.
• Curbside pharmacy is listed under Also available on the Atlanta pages, so you can collect a prescription without leaving the car during pharmacy hours.
• Every store page prints a separate pharmacy phone number. Use that line, not the main store line, for refills.

Publix Deli and Bakery Hours, Subs and Cake Orders

People searching for deli hours at Publix usually want the sub counter. The honest finding is that Publix prints no separate deli schedule.

Each store page lists Deli and Bakery as departments under the store's own hours and gives no counter-specific opening or closing time. The department is open while the store is, though service counters may stop taking custom orders somewhat before closing.

• Order Subs and Order Sushi appear in the top menu of publix.com, so a sub can be ordered ahead and collected from the store.
• Bakery cakes can be ordered online through the Order Bakery Cakes Online service shown on store pages.
• The Hot Bar and Salad Bar appear on some store pages and not others, for example at Paces Ferry and Madison Yards but not in the Holiday, Florida listing.

Publix Liquor Store Hours

In states that allow it, Publix runs its liquor store as a separate storefront next to the supermarket, and the hours are different.

At that Florida location the liquor store opens an hour after the supermarket on weekdays, an hour later again on Sunday, and closes at 9:00 PM, half an hour before the grocery store in the same plaza. Wine & Beer is sold inside the supermarket and follows the store's hours.

Is Publix Open on Easter Sunday?

No. Publix is one of the few chains that keeps every store dark on Easter.

A company spokesperson told reporters that stores close on Easter Sunday and run normal hours on the Saturday before, with regular hours back on Monday. For 2026 that meant closed on April 5 and open as usual on April 4 and April 6. Stores and pharmacies were both closed.

Is Publix Open on Thanksgiving?

Publix closes on Thanksgiving Day, one of three full-day closures each year.

• Thanksgiving Day 2026 is Thursday, November 26, and every store is closed, including the pharmacy.
• Publix is open on the Wednesday before, often with long lines, and returns on Black Friday, November 27, with its usual hours.
• The turkey, ham and side dishes people order for the holiday should be collected before Thursday; the deli counter does not run on the day itself.

Publix Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and New Year's Hours

Publix compresses Christmas Eve and closes on the 25th.

Publix on Memorial Day, July 4th and Labor Day

Publix does not close for the summer holidays, though individual stores may trim a few hours.

The company's practice is to keep these days open, and the three full-day closures above stay the same year to year. If you want a firm answer for an unusual holiday, the store page for your location is where a change would be posted.

What Time Does Publix Close? Florida vs. Georgia Closing Times

Searches for Publix closing time make up a big share of demand, and the answer depends on the plaza your store sits in.

• Holiday, Florida (Pasco County) closes at 9:30 PM, the earliest closing time in our sample, and its liquor store is a separate storefront a few doors away on Sunray Drive.
• The Atlanta stores on Peachtree, Piedmont, Ponce de Leon, Glenwood and Memorial Drive were all shown as open until 10:00 PM on Google Maps.
• Buckhead Landing in Atlanta, a smaller urban store with a bakery counter listed on its own, stayed open until 11:00 PM.
• In Tampa the nine pharmacy listings we scanned all showed a 9:00 PM close that evening, matching the weekday pharmacy pattern in Atlanta.

The practical rule is simple: if you need the doors open after 9:00 PM, check the individual store, because a 9:30 PM close is common enough to catch late shoppers. The seven-day opening time of 7:00 AM held at every store page we opened, so morning shoppers can rely on it.

Publix Curbside Pickup, Instacart and Hours Near Me

Ordering ahead is built into every store page.

• Store pages list In-Store Pickup, Curbside Pickup, Curbside Pharmacy and Instacart under Also available. Pickup time slots are picked at checkout, and Publix does not print a fixed cutoff.
• The locations page has filters for Pharmacy, Liquor and Open Now, so you can narrow to stores that are open at this minute.
• Publix is a Southeastern chain, so none of this applies in the Northeast or the West.
