Publix is the first supermarket chain to open up along the expanding Clements Ferry corridor. Publix media and community relations manager Kim Reynolds is excited to open the latest addition to the Publix chain in Charleston.

“We’ve been expanding across the region to better serve our customers,” stated Reynolds. “The growth in this community as well as requests from loyal Publix customers to open a store here contributed to us bringing Publix’s premier service and quality to Point Hope Commons. We look forward to serving this community.”

Both the DI and Point Hope Commons Publix stores will work together to provide customers in the local area an expanded grocery experience.

“This location can really complement all the services and products we offer at Daniel Island,” added Reynolds. “We are excited to offer our latest store design in a convenient location for our loyal customers along the Clements Ferry corridor as well as to neighboring communities.”

Daniel Island resident Lindy Morgan is looking forward to having another Publix close to home. “As committed Publix customers we are very pleased to have a new large Publix on the Daniel Island peninsula,” said Morgan. “We frequently have to go off the island when buying a large volume of groceries. We remain hopeful plans for the expansion of the DI Publix will go forward in the near future.”
