The great Southern-based grocer has announced another milestone with its entrance into yet another state: Publix Supermarkets is expanding into Virginia for the first time. The two new locations mark the retailer\u2019s seventh state of operation after a successful entry into North Carolina in 2014. A 54,000 square foot store in Bristol within the Kingsport core-based statistical area (CBSA) is scheduled to open in 2017, while a 49,000 square foot location in Glenn Allen within the Richmond CBSA will follow in 2018.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s no surprise that the company is continuing its trek north, where some metro areas could benefit from a food retailer with the quality of Publix. While no other plans have been announced, expect Publix to be methodical with its future store site selection in Virginia, while other future state expansions can never be ruled out.<\/p>\n

The Kingsport and Richmond area CBSA\u2019s feature Kroger as market staples, while Walmart also has a strong food presence. However, it\u2019s clear these could be ideal markets for Publix\u2019s initial Virginia expansion based on competitive landscape, size, and demographics.<\/p>\n
