Correction to a previous post, the Preservation Foundation sent out a notice including the new Publix in Lake Worth on Monday....

Here is the revised e-mail blast. For some reason, I did not receive the revision.

Saturday, April 23^rd at 10pm the Publix Supermarket serving the Town of Palm Beach closed and shutdown. The store will be demolished and a new, larger one built in its place.

That new store is set to open by December 18, 2011 just in time for the new year.

For approximately 8 months this will leave the Town of Palm Beach without a major market within the town to serve and meet the grocery needs of town residents and employees.

There is no doubt this will result in inconvenience. Palm Beachers will have to look elsewhere for their grocery needs. Other communities throughout Palm Beach County will have to deal with overcrowding as Palm Beachers find those other spots. Publix employees will see their work schedules altered and changed.

In an effort to help Palm Beachers deal with this, the Preservation Foundation is offering the following information on area businesses where grocery needs may be met during and beyond the 8 month gap the Publix closure will create.

The following Palm Beach stores – among others - will be offering grocery, as well as pharmacy services:
