Publix Super Markets on Friday announced plans for construction of a new store in Ooltewah at the northwest corner of Snow Hill Road and Mountain View Road.
In addition to the traditional dairy, frozen food, grocery, meat and produce departments, this 54,000-square-foot Publix will contain the following full-service departments: pharmacy, bakery, deli, floral and fresh seafood.
The developer for the new shopping center is Sam Boles.
Publix recently opened its first Chattanooga store - in East Brainerd at East Brainerd Road and Hurricane Creek.
The store was so popular that customers were lined up for hours before the opening preview.
Publix is privately owned and operated by its 148,000 employees, with 2006 sales of $21.7 billion.
Currently Publix has 926 stores in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama and Tennessee. The company has been named one of Fortune’s “100 Best Companies to Work For in America” for 10 consecutive years. In addition, Publix’s dedication to superior quality and customer service is recognized as tops in the grocery business, most recently by an American Customer Satisfaction Index survey.
