Publix plans to close its Gateway Town Center store on Dec. 28.

Rowe’s IGA Supermarkets owner Rob Rowe said Sunday he will not take over the Publix space at Gateway Town Center.

“We will not be doing this location,” Rowe said, explaining that he couldn’t agree to the landlord’s rental terms.

“The economics didn’t work out. He wanted more than I could afford,” Rowe said.

A representative with Gateway owner and landlord Gator Investments LLC has not returned requests for comment in previous attempts regarding the Publix lease. The offices were closed Sunday and messages were not returned.
