Greensboro, North Carolina, is under consideration by Publix Super Markets for a new distribution center. Other cities unnamed are also under consideration.
I am unaware of what other cities are under consideration for Publix Super Markets' next distribution center. I have heard speculation of Asheville, Charlotte, and Raleigh as potential locations.
The opening of additional stores in North Carolina and Virginia has or will have the Dacula, Georgia, distribution center operating at or above capacity. Another distribution center would allow the Dacula distribution center to continue supporting additional stores that will open in Georgia, South Carolina, and eastern Tennessee.
I have read Alamance and Orange counties in North Carolina were eliminated for consideration for Publix Super Markets' distribution center. Greensboro remains under consideration.
Publix Super Markets announced on Wednesday, 29 August, it will construct a refrigeration distribution center in Greensboro, North Carolina. The distribution center is projected to open in 2022.
