Stores had been open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. to allow for more sanitation during the coronavirus pandemic, and for nearly two months the chain opened from 7-8 a.m. on Tuesdays and Wednesdays for customers over 65.
āThank you for your patience over the past several weeks while weāve operated under reduced hours,ā Publix says on its website. āWith our newly expanded hours, we will suspend reserved shopping hours. We do understand some customers prefer to shop when the stores are less crowded. We encourage you to shop during the first hour of the day, when we can better accommodate that need.ā
