Ormond Mall Publix Update

The Ormond Mall Publix in Ormond By The Sea, Florida is coming along nicely, in anticipation of an early March 2010 opening. The exterior of the building looks complete and half the parking lot has been refinished. In a quick peek inside, before I was evicted, I saw the check out stations in place and the freezer aisles all ready.

It looks like Ormond by the Sea, Florida will have a big beautiful new Publix store in about a month.
