Publix Super Markets is opening its latest Charlotte grocery store on Oct. 22, the company said Thursday.
The store is located in the Whitehall Commons shopping center at 8120 South Tryon Street. This is Publix's eighth local grocery store to open. The company plans to have 14 stores in and around Charlotte open by late 2015, as Publix muscles into the local grocery market.
The Whitehall Commons Publix is a former Bi-Lo grocery store. Publix bought seven Charlotte-area Bi-Lo stores last year to accelerate its growth.
Publix is also ramping up its expansion in other parts of North Carolina. The company is opening a store in Cary on Oct. 29.
This location had its grand opening last week.
ReplyDeleteHi A. Cook, I think you might be thinking of the Steele Creek Crossing store, further at 12810 S. Tryon Street. That location opened last week. This one isn't open until the 22nd. Thanks,
