What you need to know: It’s the second of 5 Publix Super Markets coming to Northern Kentucky
The Publix at Cold Spring Pointe was the second one announced in Northern Kentucky and may soon be the second to open its doors.
In 2024, Publix Super Markets announced plans to open five stores across Northern Kentucky at the following locations:
- Near Triple Crown Boulevard and Richwood Road (Boone County), which opened in March 2025.
- At Madison Pike and Harris Pike in Independence (Kenton County).
- In Cold Spring at the southeast corner of Ky. 9/AA Highway and Alexandria Pike (Campbell County).
- At Farmview Commons, which borders Florence and Union, on U.S. Highway 42 (Boone County).
- In the Shoppes at Hebron Pointe at southwest corner of Williams Rd and Worldwide Blvd. (Boone County).
The Publix at Cold Spring Pointe is going up next door to a Publix Liquors, which will sell beer, wine and spirits. It will also include a drive-thru pharmacy.
Publix, a Florida-based company, first made its way into Kentucky in January of 2024 when it opened a 55,701-square-foot store in Louisville.
Its presence in the area challenges the dominance of supermarket giant Kroger, which has been based in Cincinnati for more than 140 years.
When will the new Publix open?
An opening date is still unclear. But Publix spokesperson Jared Glover confirmed the store is slated to open this summer.
He added that a hiring event is scheduled from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. on April 24-26 at the Holiday Inn Express & Suites at 8 Hampton Lane in Wilder.
On Tuesday, head coach Mark Pope revealed that there will likely be no summer trip for the 2026-27 Wildcats.
“We’re probably a lean towards not going right now,” Pope told Darrell Bird of Cats Pause.
The NCAA recently adopted a proposal that will allow schools to take summer tours every year after the rules previously limited schools to one trip every four years. Even if it ended up being somewhere close by, this would’ve been a great experience for the Cats to get some exhibition games in, especially with the roster overhaul they’re going through.
Oh well. The good news is UK will still have plenty of summer practices to develop and build chemistry.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (LEX 18) — Kentucky Horse Park is honoring the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to their country this Memorial Day, while also reflecting on the legacy of one of the military’s most remarkable heroes — a horse.
Sergeant Reckless, a mare who served with the U.S. Marines during the Korean War, carried ammunition into battle and brought wounded soldiers to safety, becoming a trusted and beloved companion to those who served alongside her, Kentucky Horse Park described.
In recognition of her extraordinary courage, Sgt. Reckless was promoted to Staff Sergeant and awarded two Purple Hearts, along with numerous other military honors.
“Today, we remember and honor every hero,” a post from the park read.
