Palm Lakes Plaza is a shopping center built in 1979 over a 12.6 acre site located along Atlantic Avenue in Margate between 441 and University Drive. It is on the southwest corner of Atlantic and Rock Island Road. There are 640 parking spaces.
Palm Lake Plaza is anchored by a Publix. Other businesses include CVS, Five Guys Burger and Fries, Starbucks, Subway, UPS, Banfield Pet Hospital, BB&T Bank, Golden Krust Caribbean Bakery, Before Hearing Center, Cricket Wireless, and First Bank of Florida. There are also hair and nail places, a lawyer, jewelry store, real estate, urgent care, a dentist, Learning City, a check cashing store, and a place to fix your phone.
Plans were submitted last year to demolish the existing Publix and create a large more modern one. This would be welcome as this Publix has cramped aisles and looks dated. It looks very 80's Florida strip mall and the whole plaza could use a facelift. Still it has a good selection of dining options like Five Guys and useful businesses and services where you can run your errands. I am at the UPS at least once a month dropping off Amazon returns. read more
