Publix upgrades its deli plant and warehouse buildings on New Tampa Highway

Publix is reroofing warehouse and maintenance buildings and adding fire and life-safety systems across its Lakeland deli plant campus.

Publix Super Markets is carrying out a round of building upgrades at its facilities on New Tampa Highway in west Lakeland. The largest permit covers a roughly $3.3 million roof replacement on the Publix Deli Warehouse (Buildings 19 & 25), with Advanced Roofing as contractor. A separate, smaller roof job was finaled on Fleet Maintenance Building #11.

Other permits on the campus cover life-safety and fire-protection work β€” a radio communication enhancement/life-safety system at the Publix Lakeland Deli Plant, fire alarm installations, and fire alarm and sprinkler work tied to a "Publix Fresh Kitchen." These are improvements to existing Publix operations rather than a new building.

The permits span two parcels and were filed and issued across 2025 and 2026, with several already finaled.

What happens next

Remaining issued permits move toward inspection and final sign-off as the work is completed.
