Building permits issued for Publix grocery store on Providence Road near the Arboretum
The long-awaited Publix by the Arboretum in south Charlotte looks as though it is finally moving forward.
County records show that building permits were issued late last month for the new store, at 7933 Providence Road, on the southeast corner of Providence and Pineville-Matthews roads.
Publix announced the store in May 2021, but since then, internet sleuths have been posting on Nextdoor and other social media that they thought the store wasn’t going forward, speculating that renovations to the Arboretum Walmart cooled the grocer’s plans and caused it to delete the store from its “coming soon” list online. (Guess you can’t believe everything you read on Nextdoor.)
But now it looks as though it’s a go. A spokesman told The Ledger in November that the store was going forward. —Tony Mecia
