Publix Super Markets has initiated a major $200 million multi-phase expansion of its primary distribution and logistics campus in West Lakeland, Florida. The investment reinforces Lakeland as the central supply chain hub for Publix, which operates thousands of stores across the Southeastern U.S. 

The project will include a just-over-400,000-square-foot warehouse distribution center and a 58,000-square-foot return center. The current campus has been in place for years and already covers more than 1.1 million square feet.

The Tampa Business Journal reports that Publix purchased the site along Allen K. Breed Highway in late 2023 for $8.25 million.

Gray Construction is the general contractor. 

Publix has 10 distribution centers, with over half in Florida and two in the Tampa Bay area, in Lakeland and Sarasota. The grocer also has 10 manufacturing facilities, half of which are located in Lakeland.
