The Publix supermarket at Atlantic Station will close on Dec. 27 after 20 years in business at the mixed-use development.
According to Tomorrow’s News Today, the 30,312 square foot store is one of the smaller locations in the supermarket’s chain.
Rough Draft reached out to Atlantic Station for a statement on the closure and received this confirmation from the development’s management team.
The retail industry is cyclical, and Atlantic Station continues to adapt in ways that strengthen our position as a leading mixed-use destination. With the planned closure of Publix on Dec. 27, 2025, we have an opportunity to reimagine the space and consider concepts that will add new options and value to the surrounding community.
Plans for the space will be shared as details are finalized. Atlantic Station continues to welcome a healthy mix of local and national brands joining the district, including the 2025 openings of the expanded Atlanta Falcons & Atlanta United Team Store, Art Station ATL and MINISO. Busy Bee Café is slated to open in 2026, and additional announcements are expected in the first quarter of the new year.
