CHESAPEAKE, Va. (WAVY) – Chesapeake residents will soon be able to do their grocery shopping at Publix!

A spokesperson for the supermarket chain says they will be opening a new store in Chesapeake, which will be located at the Northeast corner of Cedar Rd. and Dominion Blvd.

The spokesperson said the store will be 48,387 square feet and is expected to open in early 2025.

This is not the first Publix that is planning to open in Hampton Roads. The supermarket chain announced in May that they will be opening its first location in Virginia Beach in 2024. The Virginia Beach Publix will be located on the corner of General Booth Blvd. and Nimmo Pkwy.

Another location in Suffolk, which will be located on Godwin Blvd. is also being constructed.
