Move Over Walmart: Publix’s Secret Expansion Has Kentucky & Ohio Saying ‘Hold My Sub!’

Forget the fluorescent aisles of Walmart—there’s a new grocery sheriff in town, and it’s packing fresh-baked cookies and subs so good they’ve inspired fanboys to chant “Better than Walmart!” 

The beloved Southeast chain Publix has quietly confirmed plans for four new locations in Kentucky and Ohio, sending shoppers into a deli-fueled frenzy.

Doughnuts, Deli, and Devotion

Known for its clean stores, friendly staff, and employee-ownership model, Publix has built a cult following across the South. 

But it’s the bakery and deli that truly steal the show: from made-to-order subs to layer cakes that defy gravity, fans worship the chain’s “fresh food options.” 

One social media user gushed, “I absolutely love that place,” while another proclaimed, “I want this,” referring to their dream of a Publix build-out in their hometown.

From Three to Seven: Kentucky’s Publix Boom

Kentucky currently hosts just three Publix stores. Soon, that number will more than double with new sites in:

  • Cold Spring (opening early next year)

  • Nicholasville

  • Lexington

  • Louisville

On the Ohio front, Cincinnati gains a pair of Publix outposts—an unexpected boon for Buckeye shoppers long resigned to Walmart, Kroger, Aldi, and Meijer.

“Cold Spring is Set to Open Early Next Year”

Construction crews have already broken ground, and fans are mapping out their first orders: “Cold Spring is set to open early next year,” teased one online sleuth. 

“One is also coming to Nicholasville,” another reported. With each update, excitement ripples through local Facebook groups—some even planning Publix-themed housewarmings.

What Sets Publix Apart?

  • Employee-Owned: With over 1,288 stores nationwide, Publix is one of the country’s largest employee-owned supermarket chains.

  • Premier Quality: The company strives to be a “premier quality food retailer,” offering everything from organic kale to gourmet seafood.

  • Customer-First Service: Need help carrying groceries? Publix staffers routinely load carts and bags into customers’ cars—no tip jar in sight.

  • Fresh-Ready Meals: Short on dinner ideas? Publix’s ready-to-eat options—like sushi, fried chicken, and quiche—rescue busy families nightly.

Jobs, Joy, and Grocery Wars

Publix’s arrival means hundreds of new jobs, fresh investment, and a competitive jolt for local heavyweights like Kroger. 

With food prices still a pinch for many households, a friendly rival promising top-tier produce and a sub bar that rivals any sandwich shop is welcome news.

Southeast Roots, Northern Ambitions

While Publix’s footprint spans from Florida to Virginia, the chain’s leap into Kentucky and Ohio marks a strategic push northward. 

With demand for quality groceries surging, expect to see even more Publix signs shoring up interstate corridors—perhaps as far as the Rust Belt and beyond.

Final Slice

As planning boards issue permits and the scent of fresh-baked bread wafts over parking lots, one thing is clear: Publix is no longer just a Southern secret. 

It’s the supermarket equivalent of a chart-topping debut album—memorable, crowd-pleasing, and leaving competitors scrambling to top the next hit. 

So, Kentucky and Ohio, prep your reusable bags and appetite—Publix is coming, and it’s bringing the golden era of grocery glory with it.

Please Help Find These Forgotten Girls Held at Male Juvenile Prison for Over a Year!

  MY MOST IMPORTANT STORY  Dozens of Forgotten Little Girls Held at Male Juvenile Prison for Over a Year! Welcome to the Sunshine State , where the palm trees sway, the alligators lurk, and the legislative process makes Kafka look like a life coach!  Florida House Bill HB21 . Not just a compensation bill but possibly a 20 million dollar "Stay out of Jail Free" card for some folks. This is a bill that does some good—but also trips over its own shoelaces, falls down a staircase, and lands on a historical oversight so big, it might as well have its own zip code! An oversight that overlooks what I consider to be its most vulnerable victims! The Setup: Justice with a Catch HB21 was enacted on July 1, 2024 to compensate victims of abuse from two male juvenile detention facilities located in Florida, Dozier and Okeechobee.  It says, “Hey, survivors of abuse between 1940 and 1975, here’s some compensation for the horrific things you endured!” Sounds good, right?

Here's A New HOA Rule Dictating What You Can Do Inside Your Home

HOA Overreach: When Your Own Home Isn’t Really Your Own The joys of homeownership—the American dream!  That magical place where you can paint the walls any color you like, blast your music (within reason), and enjoy the simple pleasure of—wait, never mind..... Turns out, your HOA might have something to say about what you do inside your own four walls. Case in point: A longtime homeowner, who has peacefully lived in his residence for 25 years, was blindsided when his HOA suddenly banned smoking inside individual homes.  That’s right—after a quarter-century of no issues, he was informed that lighting up indoors was no longer an option.  The new rule, passed at the HOA’s annual meeting by a majority vote, now restricts smoking to a designated outdoor area. Now, while some might see this as a health-conscious decision, the homeowner—whose wife is a smoker—sees it as an unfair overreach.  In a letter to a local publication, he expressed frustration, writing, “I’ve live...

We Are Temporarily Halting Further Publication....

Do to financial issues and lack of funding we are temporarily halting further publication. After a full year of publication, we have reached a bridge that we are unable to cross at this time. We may periodically publish an article but at this time, full-time publication is no longer feasible. Thank you to all the readers who followed us throughout our journey and we wish you the very best. Hopefully we will see our way through this rough patch and will resume publication in the near future. Thanks again! Robert B.
