Weaverville Plaza is a retail center located on Weaver Boulevard northeast from the interchange with Interstate 26. Current anchor tenants include Rose's (165 Weaver Boulevard, Weaverville, North Carolina 28787-8345) and Big Lots #5280 (130 Weaver Boulevard, Weaverville, North Carolina 28787-8345).

Looking forward to competition for Ingles in Weaverville.

Where will Publix locate in Weaverville Plaza? I think the answer would be dependent on the store having a pharmacy drive thru, common with most new stores. Rose's and Wells Fargo (173 Weaver Boulevard, Weaverville, North Carolina 28787-8345) could be the logical site for that. If the store will not have a pharmacy drive thru, it could locate between Big Lots #5280 and Rose's.

In regards to the store's size, Publix has opened several stores that are 49,098 square feet. That would be within the range of 49,000 square feet and the likely size store for Weaverville Plaza.

Bids are being accepted for the demolition of Rose's and construction of Publix at Weaverville Plaza. The site plan is live. ("Weaverville Plaza." LDI-Line.)

The new Publix store will be 49,533 square feet and will have a pharmacy drive thru. Wells Fargo will remain. Publix truck and pharmacy drive thru traffic will travel around the B-side (west side) of Wells Fargo.
