Southeastern grocery chain Publix has revealed where its next location will be in the Upstate.
Commercial real estate management firm Aston has announced in a news release the addition of Publix Super Market to Powdersville Plaza. The new store, situated at the northwest corner of Highways 153 and 81 in Powdersville, will span approximately 50,000 square feet, offering residents a wide variety of grocery items, fresh produce and pharmacy services, the release stated.
Located in the former Bi-Lo site, the store marks another step in Publix’s expansion in the Upstate region, where the company already operates 20 stores, including two in Anderson County, the release stated.
“We are excited to continue our growth in the upstate with another location for customers to experience the Publix difference,” said Jared Glover, media relations manager at Publix, in the release. “We look forward to welcoming our new customers soon.”
Barnes Connell, managing director of Aston, expressed enthusiasm about the new anchor tenant.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Publix to Powdersville Plaza,” said Connell in the release. “Its presence aligns perfectly with our vision of fostering vibrant, community-centered shopping destinations. With its strong reputation for quality and customer service, we’re confident Publix will become an integral part of the local retail landscape.”
This strategic investment to elevate the center’s shopping experience relocates Kenneth Shuler School of Cosmetology to a newly constructed 13,266-square-foot outparcel while building expanded space for the new Publix, the release stated
“The addition of Publix and the new home for Kenneth Shuler’s School of Cosmetology is a testament to our commitment to invest in all our shopping centers in the Upstate,” George S. Dewey IV, president and CEO of Aston , in the release. “Our focus is on attracting top-quality, dynamic tenants while supporting the growth of existing businesses in order to ensure our centers not only thrive but meet the needs of the communities they serve.”
