Publix Removing 10-Item Limit From Express Checkout Lanes
Publix said the change will give shoppers another checkout option and help reduce wait times as it rolls out to nearly 1,500 stores.
Following testing in Miami, Publix is removing the 10-item limit from its express lanes nationwide, allowing customers with more than 10 items to use the faster checkout option.
The supermarket chain aims to improve the shopping experience and reduce wait times for customers, providing shoppers with more checkout flexibility.
Publix operates nearly 1,500 stores across the Southern United States; customers previously restricted to 10 items or fewer can now access express lanes without limitation.
According to the American Customer Satisfaction Index, Publix ranked as the number 2 grocery chain in 2026, behind Trader Joe; self-checkout lanes remain available for smaller purchases.
Already underway at many stores, the updated checkout process will soon expand to all Publix locations, completing the nationwide rollout of the express lane policy change.
