Publix Super Markets’ second store in Louisville, Kentucky, opened Sept. 3 at 10005 Ballardsville Road.
To celebrate its 95th anniversary, the grocer handed out commemorative reusable bags to the first 95 customers in line at the grand opening.
“We are excited to open our second location in Louisville,” said Publix Media Relations Manager Jared Glover.
“Customers can start their shopping trip at our Pours café, where they can enjoy a cup of coffee or any of our delicious drinks, or hangout and refresh with an acai bowl or smoothie.”
