   Jersey Mikes for sure and heard there may be a Little Caesars in the Publix shops. So the usual shopping center fare.

   What else is going into that Publix shopping center on Hendersonville Road?

      Jersey Mikes and Great Clips for Hair.

      Publix uses third party brokers and Crossman is not exactly filling the place up. Rents have been reduced from $25 to $24 a foot plus $5.00 in cam so the smallest space is north of $3,000 a month.

      A franchise operated frozen custard shop and a regional casual grill/brew house have expressed interest but have passed because of poor visibility, limited access and because Publix isn’t proven in this market like in other areas.

      They are also soliciting Total Wine to take a medium box space and a personal training studio for a 1400 square foot inline space… but, my sources say not happening.

      Sadly this looks like it will eventually fill up with franchise driven national/regional players that are used to paying $30 a foot in Publix centers in markets that see $25 a foot Asheville as a value.

      Hoping this isn’t another Gerber Village..Not exactly an exciting tenant mix unless something/someone changes..

   Publix has confirmed plans to open additional stores in Charlotte, Concord, Mooresville, Wake Forest and Winston-Salem with openings through 2016.

   Any new stores announced now would likely open in 2016.

   Location map for Public lists 11 in Charlotte Area with one opening 18-April and 4 others later in 2015 and through 2017. There is one in Cary and one to open 2016 in Wake Forest. There could be others; the map does not indicate the store in Hendersonville, for example.

      Publix currently operates eight stores in North Carolina. Store #1453, Shops at Southline, in Charlotte opens Saturday, 18 April. Store #1429, in Miami, Florida, will mark a milestone for Publix: 1,100 stores.

      Publix has not officially announced a store for Hendersonville yet, but rumors and speculation are well documented.
