Publix announces opening date for Carolina Beach store

CAROLINA BEACH, NC (WWAY) — A long-awaited new grocery store on Pleasure Island is about ready to open its doors.

The new store has been built on the site of the old Federal Point Shopping Center. The plans had been tied up in a legal dispute involving the long-standing plans to build a Harris Teeter nearby.

For years Food Lion near Snows Cut Bridge has been the island’s only supermarket.
