HIGH POINT, N.C. (WGHP) – Publix is opening a second location in High Point, announcing on Friday that it had leased space in the Mendenhall Marketplace Shopping Center.
Publix, an employee-owned, high-end grocery chain based in Florida, said its new store would be about 48,000 square feet on the corner of Johnson Street and Skeet Club Road. The chain already has a store in Westchester Square, which is at 2005 North Main St.
(The Hill) — President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump are tied in a hypothetical match-up in 2024, according to a new Wall Street Journal poll released Friday.
The poll found that both Biden and Trump each would get 45 percent support from voters in a theoretical head-to-head in two years.
(The Hill) — Ukrainian-born actor Mila Kunis says the world shouldn’t blame Russian citizens for the country’s invasion of Ukraine, but should instead condemn the “people in power.”
“I don’t think that we need to consider the people of Russia an enemy,” the former “That ‘70s Show” star said in a preview clip released Friday from Maria Shriver’s digital series, “Conversations Above the Noise.”
