An April groundbreaking has been announced for a new shopping center anchored by a 48,500-square-foot Publix supermarket in Cumming.

Retail Planning Corp., Atlanta, will formally begin construction of the Publix at Matt, an 82,000-square-foot shopping center, on Thursday, April 11, according to an announcement by the developer. The project, at Bannister Road and Matt Highway (Ga. 369), is scheduled to open in the summer of 2020.

The Publix will offer fresh, natural and traditional products and a drive-through pharmacy window, according to Brenda Reid, spokeswoman for the grocer’s Atlanta Division.

The center also has signed leases with Great Clips, Nail Talk & Tan, J. Christopher’s and AT&T, officials said. The developer is seeking beauty and health services, shipping facilities, financial services, a children’s day care, and fast-casual and fast-food restaurants.
