Publix has broken ground on a distribution center in North Carolina, which will be over 940,000 square feet and create up to 1,000 jobs in the region by 2025. In addition, phase one of the project, expected to be completed by 2022, will support more efficient delivery of refrigerated products to Publix locations in the Carolinas and Virginia.
At the groundbreaking ceremony, attended by North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper, North Carolina House Speaker Tim Moore, Greensboro Mayor Nancy Vaughan, and Publix Super Markets CEO Todd Jones, Publix presented donations to nonprofit organizations BackPack Beginnings and Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest North Carolina to help alleviate child hunger.
“Publix believes in being engaged in our communities,” said Publix director of communications Maria Brous, in a statement. “As a food retailer, we are focused on alleviating hunger in the communities we serve and are proud to support organizations providing food to those in need.”
