  • Publix Closes Some Stores, Focuses on Rebuilding as Margins Narrow
    July 16, 2026, 6:14 PM EDT. Publix shuttered eight stores in Q1, with seven of those locations tied to immediate replacements or rebuild projects. Four additional stores scheduled for closure in 2026 are now being redeveloped or have nearby new stores planned. Comparable sales at Publix were flat, trailing Walmart-which saw a 4.1% increase-and Kroger, up 1.0%. Operating margin slipped to 8.0% from 8.5% as payroll and facility expenses rose. Net income dropped 21.5% to $794 million, largely because of unrealized equity losses, while adjusted earnings were down around 3%.
