Publix Super Markets Inc. has confirmed plans for two new stores in the Charlotte market — one in the Cotswold area and the other in Mooresville.
Florida-based developer Stiles shared some details of the grocer’s plans for that Cotswold store last week. The 49,000-square-foot store at 4425 Randolph Road will be on the east side of the road, between Greenwich and North Sharon Amity roads. The location is across from the Harris Teeter-anchored Cotswold Village shopping center.
That is a highly populated area of town where Publix doesn’t have a location yet, says Kim Reynolds, spokeswoman.
“It’s an opportunity for us to build new customers,” she says.
The Mooresville store, which also would measure 49,000 square feet, will be in the Brawley Commons shopping center, at the corner of Brawley School Road and WIlliamson Road. That site was formerly a Lowes grocery store.
The Mooresville location is scheduled to open in 2016.
Reynolds anticipates additional announcements of new Publix stores in the region this year.
“We’re continuing to look across Charlotte and the state,” she says.
The grocer had no stores in the region in mid-2012. By the end of this year, it will have at least 14. The chain's first N.C. store opened in Ballantyne in February 2014.
Publix has said it could announce as many as 10 additional locations in the region this year.
The company has 1,097 stores in six states. Its sales in 2014 totaled $30.6 billion.
