Publix Super Markets, Inc. is set to establish a pharmaceutical manufacturing facility in St. Johns, FL, according to the St. Johns County Economic Development Department.

The new 168, 480-square-foot state-of-the-art central fill pharmaceutical facility will cost about $145 million, create more than 150 new jobs initially—growing to approximately 400 jobs total—and is anticipated to be operational in 2026.

The project was introduced to the St. Johns County Economic Development Department by JAXUSA Partnership, the County’s regional economic development partner and is within St. Johns County’s target industries of advanced manufacturing and health/life sciences.
