When is Publix opening in Lexington?

The first Lexington location is expected to open at the Fountains of Palomar shopping center at Harrodsburg Road and Man o’ War Boulevard in late 2024.

In March, Publix announced another Lexington store will be built at Citation Point, in the southeast corner of Georgetown Road and Citation Boulevard.

No opening time frame was announced for the 46,000-square-foot store but the developer said the building could be completed by the summer of 2024.

Another Publix is widely expected to be announced for the Nicholasville/Brannon Crossing area.
