New grocery
almost ready to open on southside
The new Publix grocery store in south Fayetteville should be able to open
some time in the coming week, city officials said.
The building will likely get its certificate of occupancy Wednesday or Thursday
after a final inspection, said Fayetteville Building Official Tony Haponski.
The superintendent on the project hasn’t yet determined when the store’s
grand opening will be, Haponski added.
The store will join an Ingles grocery that’s across Ga. Highway 92
and Kroger that is across Ga. Highway 85. Fayetteville is served by another
Publix in the Fayette Pavilion and Peachtree City has two: one on Ga. Highway
54 East and one on Ga. Highway 74 South.
The new Publix is part of the Summit Point shopping center, which already
features several fast-food eateries including McDonald’s, Wendy’s
and the GTO’s Drive-In. A Zaxby’s restaurant is also planned for
the shopping center.
