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.

Recovery operations underway to find possible drowning victim on Kentucky Lake | NewsRadio 1230 AM/99.3 FM | Hopkinsville’s News Leader
Recovery efforts are set to begin anew after weather delay efforts Saturday night, as officials in Stewart County search for a possible drowning victim.
According to Stewart County Fire Rescue in Tennessee, first responders were called to Grays Landing on Kentucky Lake for reports that a person had gone missing in the water. Search and recovery efforts began at once, but due to severe storms rolling through, water conditions quickly became rough.
Recovery operations were suspended for the night after water conditions and severe storms partially sank a civilian boater near the boat ramp.
No additional details on the matter have been released.
