LAKELAND, Fla. — On Tuesday, Publix said they once again have adjusted their grocery store hours because of the coronavirus.
The Florida-based grocery chain says this will help "provide our store teams additional time to conduct preventive sanitation and to restock our shelves."
Effective Wednesday morning, the store hours will be 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Pharmacy hours will be Monday to Saturday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday pharmacy hours will be normal. Hours of pharmacies at hospitals will vary by location.
Publix was already closing at 8 p.m. effective March 14.
UPDATE: To better serve our customers, give our store teams time to conduct additional preventive sanitation and restock product on shelves, beginning 3/18, we will adjust store hours companywide temporarily: https://t.co/oxrccnBKwW pic.twitter.com/8Z9dVqW0vf
