As Publix Super Markets Inc. renovates and rebuilds around Northeast Florida, the city issued a permit May 29 for the Lakeland-based company to remodel its North Jacksonville grocery store at a cost of $900,000.
Jacksonville-based Elkins Construction LLC is the contractor for the project at 731 Duval Station Road, Unit 104, in Duval Station Centre.
It is at Duval Station and Starratt Roads near First Coast High School.
Plans show Publix will add or remodel freezers and coolers, among other work. It will cut the 10 checkout lanes to seven while adding a self-checkout corral.
Jacobs Architects of Orlando is the architect.
The 21-year-old store remains at 45,350 square feet. It anchors the almost 77,000-square-foot shopping center, which was built in 2003.
Lakeland-based Publix bought the center in 2015 for $15 million.
Publix Media Relations Manager Hannah Herring said March 20 that the company plans to start the remodeling project this summer for completion by year-end.
She said it will remain the same size and remain open during the work.
Publix regularly renovates or rebuilds its stores.
