Stiles, a full-service commercial real estate firm with a 75-year history across the Southeast, today announced its entry into the Kentucky market with the development of a new Publix Super Market in Bowling Green.
The project marks a significant milestone as Stiles continues to expand its footprint into high-growth markets throughout the Southeast, including Florida, the Carolinas, and Tennessee.
Located at the southeast corner of Campbell Lane and Smallhouse Road, the development will feature a 54,946-square-foot Publix Super Market, adjacent Publix Liquors, and shop space, serving the rapidly growing Bowling Green community. Construction is scheduled to break ground later this fall, with an anticipated opening in the second quarter of 2028.
“Entering Kentucky is an exciting step forward for our company,” said Austin Freedman, Senior Director of Retail Development for Stiles Retail Group. “Bowling Green represents a dynamic and growing market, and we are proud to partner with Publix to deliver a high-quality retail experience that will serve the community for years to come.”
Publix, one of the nation’s largest employee-owned grocery retailers, continues to expand its presence in Kentucky as part of its broader growth strategy. The Bowling Green location will further enhance access to premium grocery offerings, prepared foods, and pharmacy services for area residents.
“This project reflects our continued commitment to thoughtful investment and strong partnerships in key markets across the Southeast,” said Ryan Karlin, President of Stiles Retail Group. “We see meaningful opportunity in Kentucky and look forward to building on this momentum.”
Stiles will lead both development and design, with architecture by Stiles Architectural Group. The company has developed, constructed, and managed more than 54 million square feet of award-winning office, retail, industrial, mixed-use, and residential projects throughout the Southeast.
