Publix to open first store in Louisville's Highlands neighborhood
What happened
Publix is opening its first store in the Highlands neighborhood of Louisville. This store is part of the Mid City Market project, which involves redeveloping the Highlands property into a 100,000-square-foot market. Demolition of the existing Mid City Mall is expected to begin in early December, making way for the new market and a Highland-Shelby Park Library.

Why it matters

A potential new grocery store is planned for the Louisville market.
