LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Good news “Pub Sub” lovers, Publix has announced it is bringing a fourth store to Kentucky.

The Lakeland, Florida-based supermarket chain announced it has secured property for its third Louisville store on the corner of Flat Rock Road and Shelbyville Road.

The newest store will be a 48,387-square-foot store and will include a Publix Pharmacy and a Publix Liquor will be next to the store.

“Publix provides premier customer service, along with a deep commitment to the communities in which we serve,” said Publix Director of Communications Maria Brous in a statement. “We are excited for Kentuckians to begin experiencing the Publix difference as we continue to expand our footprint in the Bluegrass State.”
