Some businesses will get coronavirus bargain rent breaks from their landlord — Publix

Business closed by coronavirus pandemic measures but physically connected to Publix as a strip mall tenant can get a rent break, the supermarket chain announced Friday.

For two months, Publix is waiving rent as well as maintenance fees and taxes for shopping center tenants closed as non-essential businesses. This concerns 282 shopping centers such as Doral Park Plaza at Northwest 41st Street and 97th Avenue in Doral; Plaza Del Paraiso at 12100 SW 127th Avenue in South Miami-Dade; Paradise Promenade Plaza in Davie, and Cooper City Commons at 9359 Sheridan Street in Cooper City..

“As a company that started as a small business 90 years ago, Publix wants to help businesses renting from us survive the economic impact of these unexpected closures,” Publix Director of Communications Maria Brous said in the website announcement.
