What did the jockey say to the horse at the Kentucky Derby? “Let’s gallop to Publix and get a Pub sub after this victory!”

If you haven’t heard by now, Publix has expanded to the Bluegrass State, and we’re accepting transfer requests for associates interested in relocating to Kentucky.

There are benefits to transferring to a new location and building a career you’ll be proud of and inspired by. Kentucky offers new opportunities, beautiful scenery and a refreshing taste of Southern hospitality.

Quality products

Our 1st Louisville store, #1846, features a fresh pizza kitchen and a Pours area. While customers shop or just relax, they can enjoy coffee, wine, beer, kombucha, acai bowls and smoothies in the Pours area.

New Kentucky stores will offer unique Kentucky-inspired products, Kentucky exclusives and a selection of bourbons, which will be available at Publix Liquors stores in the Bluegrass State.

Hear from associates

Don’t just take it from us! After opening #1846, we asked associates what transferring to our 1st Kentucky store was like.

“Opening yourself up to work in a new market is a unique opportunity, and not everybody gets the chance,” said Grocery Manager Pablo Rosado-Martinez. “If you are interested in transferring to Kentucky, I would highly recommend it because being able to spread the Publix culture and help a new community has been one of the highlights of my career.”

“Moving to Kentucky has been a life-changing experience,” said Decorator Araceli Zambrano. “I am enjoying the change and the new opportunities that transferring will bring me.”
