Publix, a Florida-based grocery chain, is actively scouting Northern Kentucky locations for new stores that will compete head-to-head against Kroger and Ramke. Although Publix has yet to confirm its plans, developers that built Publix stores in other states have proposed four grocery-anchored retail centers in Richwood, Union, Independence and Cold Spring.
