Publix is set to open five new stores by early July, expanding its footprint in Florida and Kentucky as the grocery chain continues steady growth across the Southeast.
The openings, scheduled between June 11 and July 2, include four locations in Florida and one in northern Kentucky, according to Publix’s “New Store Openings” page. The additions build on the company’s network of more than 1,400 stores across eight states.
