The newest Publix grocery store, set to open Wednesday in Chattanooga, was crafted for its Broad Street location and isn’t a cookie-cutter supermarket, the project’s developer said.
“It was especially designed for that site,” said George Chase of Atlanta-based Alliance Realty Services.
Chase said that even the name of the shopping center at 3535 Broad St., Mount Vernon Point, is a nod to the Mt. Vernon Restaurant that operated on the property for 63 years.
The Publix, to open at 7 a.m. Wednesday, is 32,500 square feet in size.
“We are excited to expand across Chattanooga with the opening of our Publix at Mount Vernon Point,” said Kim Reynolds, Publix’s community relations manager. “We look forward to bringing Publix’s legendary service and quality to the surrounding community.”
