RTD Reporting Late July Opening for Publix
The Publix is set to open in the shuttered Martins, which replaced the sold Ukrop, which replaced the old Ukrops.
It’s nearly daily that someone on NextDoor or Facebook asks the question, “When is Publix opening?”. The sign has been up for awhile and recently the parking lot was cleared. Anticipation has reached a fevered pitch, people are dying to know.
Publix Super Markets will open its next Richmond-area store — in the former Martin’s store that was renovated in the Shops at Stratford Hills — at 7 a.m. on July 25.
This will make the Florida-based chain’s ninth store in the Richmond region.
Publix bought the store off Forest Hill Avenue near Chippenham Parkway in South Richmond from Ukrop’s Super Markets Inc. for $12.49 million last August.
