Luke Bryan surprised people in a Hobe Sound Publix Saturday when he was spotted in the Islands Crossings Shopping Center store at 11750 S.E. Federal Highway.
The award-winning country music artist snapped some selfies with Publix workers, which were posted to social media. TCPalm is awaiting permission to republish those photos in this article.
TCPalm does not know why Bryan was in town or whether he still owns a home in Florida after selling his in Santa Rosa Beach on Aug. 27 for $11.5 million, according to Walton County public records.
The Publix store is just north of Jupiter Island — a small, affluent, barrier-island community straddling Martin and Palm Beach counties where many famous celebrities and athletes own homes.

Are Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan friends?
Bryan is longtime friends with country singer Jason Aldean, who owns property on Hutchinson Island in Martin County. The two were together on Election Day, Brittany Aldean posted on Instagram.
The Aldeans bought their Stuart-area home in 2022, and then the adjacent property in 2023.

It’s not the first time Bryan has been seen on the Treasure Coast.
In 2023, he held a private charity concert in Martin County to raise $500,000 for two Palm Beach County arts high schools: Bak Middle School of the Arts and Dreyfoos School of the Arts.
He performed the concert along the Indian River Lagoon on State Road A1A, just north of Tequesta, between Jupiter Pointe Marina and Tiki 52.
