Culpeper shoppers are getting a new grocery destination. Publix, a supermarket titan, is coming to the area, though when, precisely, it will be ready remains a bit of a mystery, reports Inside Nova.
Publix has signed on to open at the northwest corner of Ira Hoffman Lane and James Madison Highway as part of Dominion Square. The supermarket is set to span 54,964 square feet and is on deck to hire around 140 employees.
An opening timeline has not yet been established, however Publix spokesperson Jared Glover assures future shoppers that the chain is enthusiastic about deepening its Virginia presence, saying: “We are excited to extend our growth across Virginia with a new location in Culpeper. We look forward to bringing the Publix difference to our new customers in this vibrant community soon.”
Founded in 1930, Publix has become the largest employee-owned company in the country. With the ambitious mission of becoming “the premier quality food retailer in the world”, Publix now has more than 1,400 stores open and operational.
