Publix rumored to be coming to Cary

We knew it was just a matter of time before Publix starting looking at the Triangle now that they are in the Charlotte area.

The Triangle Business Journal  indicated on Friday that Publix has "verbally committed" to opening a store at the intersection of Davis Drive and High House Road in Cary.

This should be interesting since there are multiple Harris Teeter and Lowes Foods stores within about a mile of that location. There will be some serious coupon promotions offered if Publix does actually come to this intersection!

I did speak with the Publix corporate office and they are not offering any information about the proposed Triangle location at this time. Once we know more, we'll let you know. 

If you are a Publix fan, what do you like about the store?

I also heard there is one coming to Wakefield where the old Kroger was.

My sister in law lives in SC and I am always jealous of the coupon booklets and store coupons publix has! I can't wait to be able to stack store and manufacturer coupons. Hopefully it won't take them long to build an east Raleigh or JoCo store.

I love Publix! We're from Florida and that's where we always shopped. everything is fresh, they have good prices and willing to add merchandise if requested.

Does Publix offer double coupons, like HT and Lowes Foods? Also, I may have posted this already, but it will be a Walmart Neighborhood Grocery that will be taking the place of the Food Lion that closed in Northwoods Shopping Center in Cary, in case there was a hope a Publix would be filling that spot.

"Publix only operates in areas that are at least 95% white within 5 miles."

This comment is simply not true. I lived in St. Petersburg and Clearwater, Florida combined for 30 years and Publix had store locations less than 5 miles from a heavily African American area of St. Petersburg and also less than 5 miles from a heavily populated Hispanic area of Clearwater. Their customer service was always excellent. It is one of the hallmarks of their store.

I used to live in Florida and I LOVE Publix! That is one of the things I really do miss about FL. They have good prices, I liked the deli and their sandwiches and they have the cutest pilgrim people at Thanksgiving! :)

I have a friend in Florida who says Publix will have to do more than they do down there if they want to compete with HT. He says they don't double and triple coupons, so either they will have to do that up here or no need to open their doors.

DianeNC: they already opened up that Walmart. To be honest, I have yet to see that parking lot 1/2 full, other than opening week.

This is going to be VERRRRY interesting for that intersection. Not even a mile, less than a block from that intersection, you already have a Lowes on one side & an HT on the other. There has been a lot of construction in that area: residential on one side & expansion of retail (where BoJangles is) on the other. There was also a rumor that Target was going in there, but we will see. Too many options for me only 5 minutes from my door!!!! :-)

My aunt lives in FL and exclusively shops at Publix and Walmart. She doesn't coupon, though, so not sure about their couponing policies. Looking forward to having another choice in the area!
