New Publix on Hwy 98 in SoWal breaking ground

[Matt J]

Excuse me, people, but I told you a couple of months ago that there would be a new Publix and nobody believed me.

Let this be a lesson to you all.

Calm down, this was discussed several months ago, and if I recall correctly I nor SJ ever doubted you.

what you talking about sista?

swgb, maybe I heard PC, rather than PCB for that HD or Lowe's locations, but with three Starbucks at Pier Park, having two Publix supermarkets a few blocks away, isn't too crazy. Heck, the new one they are building in SoWal, is probably only 4-5 miles to the one at Mack Bayou, and there are only traffic lights in between the two stores.

I would think PC, they probably bought out the Albertson's location at the corner of 23rd and Hwy 77.

I understand that the new Publix, on Hwy 98 in SoWal, will be breaking ground sometime this week. For those of you who didn't know about it, the new Publix will be located on the north side of Hwy 98, a few hundred feet east of Hwy 393.

Oh, that is ridiculous, we need a Whole Foods market more than anything!

Or something similar by a local business person who knows good food, food service, and has a following in the area. :scratch:;-)

If you go back further in time, you will see when I first posted the story of Publix being approved by the Planning Dept or BCC, I cannot recall which. Mrs Rocket, I didn't dare doubt you. ;-)

My guess is that Publix is trying to beat them to the punch. Sure, they are different, but Publix is new enough (their stores in our area) and they are super clean and the employees very friendly. I don't think Whole Foods would stand a chance competing with Publix in this particular market.

That's the one I was looking for.

Go Mrs Rocket.

Here here!!! Fresh Market is just, well, OK.

I really look forward to my trips anywhere that has a Whole Foods- am going to Louisville for spring break, and may have to take the luggage carrier to haul back the Whole Foods purchases.
