The grand reveal is slated to kick off bright and early at 7 a.m. at 1952 Stockton Way, nestled within the bustling Citation Point shopping center.

That’s a whole lot of room packed with the goodies you know and love! Plus, shoppers will be delighted to find a Publix Liquors store conveniently positioned alongside, covering another 3,200 square feet of space dedicated to your favorite beers, wines, and spirits.
Marking a Milestone in Kentucky
This new outlet marks a significant milestone as Publix’s first foray into the Lexington market, following the opening of its inaugural Kentucky store in Louisville just last January 2024. The Louisville store was groundbreaking in its own right as it became the first location to feature a Publix Liquors store outside of Florida. This just goes to show how serious Publix is about making its mark in the Bluegrass State!
The Future of Publix in Lexington
But wait, there’s more! Publix has ambitious plans for the Lexington area, with a total of three locations on the drawing board. Future sites are already being mapped out at Man o’ War and Harrodsburg Roads, as well as at Romany and Duke Roads. While we don’t have exact opening dates for these locations just yet, it’s safe to say that Publix is committed to establishing a strong presence in Lexington.
Expanding Across the State
Beyond Lexington, Publix has its sights set on expansion across Kentucky. Plans have been confirmed for two additional stores in Louisville, as well as four in northern Kentucky. If that’s not enough to pique your interest, the chain is also eyeing locations in Owensboro and Elizabethtown. This significant growth is expected to create hundreds of new jobs, adding to the local economy.
Community Commitment
As part of its expansion, Publix is eager to not just serve customers but to become active members of the Lexington community. With a well-earned reputation for quality offerings—think sit-down deli and a wide selection of prepared foods—Patrons are in for a treat when the doors open! Publix’s commitment to community involvement emphasizes values instilled by founder George Jenkins, ensuring this new store will be more than just a place to shop.
Get Ready for the Grand Opening!
As the countdown continues to the grand opening on March 5, Lexington residents can look forward to a fresh and exciting shopping experience. With its spacious layout, diverse offerings, and community-focused approach, Publix promises to make waves in the local grocery market. So, mark your calendars and set your alarms—this is one grocery store opening you won’t want to miss!
