A popular supermarket chain with a loyal following has opened a new location in the Triangle.
Florida-based Publix opened its second Durham store Saturday, April 11.
Located at 4628 Guess Road in the Latta Park development, the 41,744-square-foot store is the first Publix store to open in the Triangle this year.
The new location includes the traditional departments, such as produce, bakery, deli, meat and seafood. It also has a full-service pharmacy with a drive-thru for prescription pickups.
Customers can also have their groceries delivered from Publix through Instacart.
“We are thrilled to continue our growth across the Triangle with a new location in Durham,” Jared Glover, Publix media relations manager, said in a news release. “Customers, both old and new, will enjoy some of the special features of this brand-new location, and we’re excited to provide our customers with the quality, convenience and service they know and love.”
Publix stores in the Triangle
The Latta Park location, open 7 a.m.-10 p.m. daily, is Publix’s second in Durham. The other Bull City store is at 1065 Yunus Road in the Marketplace at Ellis Crossing.
There are around a dozen other Publix locations across Triangle municipalities such as Raleigh, Rolesville, Cary, Wendell, Apex, Wake Forest and Clayton. Three stores — on Buffaloe Road in Raleigh, at 16100 N.C. Highway 50 North in Johnston County and at 821 S. Main St. in Rolesville — have opened since May 2025.
Grocery stores in Durham
The Latta Park Publix is within a few miles of Harris Teeter and Food Lion locations.
At least one other grocery store has plans to open in Durham. Target has been announced as an anchor tenant of the new Ellerbe Square development on the former Northgate Mall site.
While Publix has a cult-like following, beloved for its subs and freshly baked desserts, the company does not have the top market share in the Triangle. In the Durham-Chapel Hill metro, the chain had a 4% market share in 2025, The News & Observer previously reported — behind Walmart, Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Target, Costco, Wegmans, Whole Foods Market and Sam’s Club.
