The site at 344 Romany Rd. has historically been home to a grocery store, and its newest incarnation will too, though the company behind it is a newcomer to the area and to Kentucky. Officials with Greer Companies and the Webb Companies have been working to bring a Publix to the property, which housed a Randall’s Supermarket, followed by Kroger from 1995 to 2015. Most recently, the property was leased by Cox Foods and Eastern-Kentucky-based Laurel Grocery Company with the intention to build an IGA, although those plans never came to fruition following some construction activity on the site.
