Fort Myers Publix being demolished to make way for redevelopment

A Fort Myers Publix is being demolished by the owners of a local shopping center as part of a redevelopment.

The store is in Daniels Crossing, a 30-year-old center at the intersection of Daniels Parkway and Six Mile Cypress in the city.

According to the center’s owners, the 48,890-square-foot Publix, which closed in June, will be fully rebuilt and is scheduled to reopen in June 2025. The store that was knocked down, and a 4,700-square-foot space adjacent to it, will be replaced by a new 48,387-square-foot grocery store and a 3,010-square foot Publix Liquors.
