Publix to Open 2nd N.C. Location

Publix Super Markets has signed a lease for a second store in the Greater Charlotte, N.C. area, to be located at the intersection of South Boulevard and Iverson Way in Charlotte.

The Shops at South Line shopping center will feature a 54,975-square-foot Publix supermarket as well as other shops and restaurants. The project also includes two levels of underground parking in addition to ground-level parking.

“We are excited to bring Publix to even more customers and associates in North Carolina and look forward to continued growth in the state and in our current operating areas,” said Maria Brous, Publix media and community relations director.

Publix announced in September its first North Carolina store in Ballantyne, located at Providence Road West and Johnston Road, opening in 2014.

Publix is privately owned and operated by its 157,500 employees, with 1,070 stores in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama and Tennessee.
