I had a Publix a couple blocks from me when I lived in Florida just before moving here 16 years ago. Great store - clean, decent (not great, but decent enough) prices, very helpful personnel. And, they paid their workers a working wage. Another HT is nothing to sneeze at, though - especially since this one will only be a mile or so from my home, and almost on the way home from work.

Nothing has materialized. I'm surprised that HT would build so close to an existing store (Stonehenge, only 2.0 miles away), but I assume they believe residential density is likely to increase in the polygon bounded by Creedmoor, Glenwood, Lead Mine, Town and Country, and Millbrook. Creedmoor Road, like Six Forks Road north of North Hills, will continue to see commercial redevelopment of underutilized parcels. The city's master plan encourages this. At least the city did insist 25 years ago that NCDOT create planted medians when Creedmoor was widened. NCDOT wanted to pave the whole road, a la Falls of Neuse.
