HAINES CITY, Fla. – Last week, Publix announced that it was rolling out its “softest” sub roll yet — just in time for its next Central Florida location to open.
In a release, company officials said that the soft white-bread sub roll is the latest addition to the chain’s lineup, which includes the following:

Additionally, the release provides a few fun facts about its signature “Pub subs,” such as that the best-selling sub is the Chicken Tender sub, and the most popular toppings are lettuce, tomato, and onions.
“The first custom sub shop and sandwich menu board debuted at a Publix in Marietta, Georgia, in 1992...” the release reads. “Publix’s limited-edition Turkey Cranberry sub debuted in 2010 to capture the nostalgia of the holiday season. It’s been a customer favorite ever since.”
The news comes less than a month before the latest Central Florida Publix store is set to open its doors to the public.
That upcoming location is planned to open in Haines City on March 13, near the intersection of East Johnson Avenue and Power Line Road.
According to Forness Properties, the store will serve as an anchor for the Shops at The Grove, being flanked by a Circle K gas station, a McDonald’s restaurant, and a Mavis Tires & Brakes.
Other stores in the shopping center are set to include a nail lounge, a sushi bar, and an ice cream store, a release from the company shows.
“Plans are in place to increase both Johnson Ave & Power Line Rd to 4-lanes to accommodate the expected growth,” the release reads. “The closest grocery stores are Winn-Dixie and Aldi approximately 3 miles to the west.”
Publix lists the Haines City grocery store as being over 48,000 square feet, much in line with its other standard locations. The new store will also feature a pharmacy and liquor store, the company’s website says.
This marks another step in the company’s continued expansion across the Sunshine State, with some new stores last year featuring parking garages, upstairs dining, and even a three-story location with a boat dock.
