Publix Super Markets has executed leases on three new store locations in Kentucky — in Richmond, Versailles and Bowling Green. Each location will feature a 54,964-square-foot Publix Super Market with an adjacent Publix Liquors and is expected to create approximately 150 jobs.
The three sites are:
- Publix at The Farms at Barnes Mill, located at the corner of Goggins Lane and Barnes Mill Road in Richmond;
- Publix at The Shops at Woodford Farm, at the corner of Lexington Road and Governors Way in Versailles; and
- Publix at Campbell Commons, at the corner of Campbell Lane and Smallhouse Road in Bowling Green.
“This announcement reflects our commitment to delivering the Publix difference to new customers,” said Jared Glover, media relations manager for Publix Super Markets. “We look forward to being active members of these vibrant communities and serving our new customers soon.”
An opening time frame has not yet been determined for any of the three locations.
The leases signal continued investment in Kentucky, the newest state in Publix’s footprint. The Lakeland, Florida-based retailer is the largest employee-owned company in the U.S. with more than 260,000 associates and operates 1,432 stores across eight states: Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia and Kentucky.
