A new Publix is taking shape on US 27 in Davenport

Where it is. In Davenport.

A new Publix store and plaza at 42660 US Hwy 27 in Davenport has moved through its sign and fire-sprinkler permits, with a Fifth Third Bank drive-thru proposed on the site.

County permit records for 42660 US Highway 27 in Davenport describe a new Publix store and plaza. Fire-sprinkler permits for the new store and its facade canopy were filed in May 2025 and are complete, and a run of sign permits followed through the summer and fall: a multitenant monument sign, a plaza pylon sign, two wall signs on the south elevation, and a clearance headache bar with a hanging sign at the entrance. All of those permits are now closed and complete.

A separate site-plan record filed in September 2025 proposes a Fifth Third Bank financial institution with a drive-thru in a roughly 1,900-square-foot building on the same site, suggesting a bank outparcel alongside the grocery store.

With sprinklers installed and signage up, the store appears to be finished or close to opening, though the records here don't include a certificate of occupancy or an opening date.

What happens next

Watch for the Publix to open and for the proposed Fifth Third Bank outparcel to move into building permits. An opening date is not yet public.
