The Fresh Market is not the only grocer looking to infiltrate the Memphis market. The Memphis movers have learned that Publix may have their eye on moving into the state as well. While no confirmations have been made by the Publix camp, it’s been said that Memphis is an area that they would like to be the supermarket of choice for Memphis residents.
Currently, Publix has stores in Nashville, Chattanooga, and Clarksville. Right now, the closest Publix to Memphis is in nearby Alabama’s Buff City. It is still 155 miles away. Fresh Market is definitely coming to the area, and hopefully soon we will know more about a potential Publix.
