People walk to the doors of the Publix Super Market Pharmacy and Liquor Store, 503 Manatee Ave. W., Holmes Beach, on opening day March 23. The property — formerly Regions Bank — was rezoned from Commercial-1 zoning to C-2 in 2021 to allow the retail business. The building had been vacant since 2012, when it was purchased by SCD at Anna Maria LLC. Islander Photo: Ryan Paice
