A report from the Cincinnati Enquirer suggests that Florida-based Publix Super Markets may be planning to expand into Boone County, Kentucky, a region considered the "backyard" of Kroger, the nation's largest supermarket chain.

Site plans for a development anchored by a supermarket have been approved by the county. While local and Publix officials have remained tight-lipped about the specific project, the engineering and development companies involved have a history of working with Publix on store constructions.

This potential move by Publix into Kroger's home territory could signal a new competitive front in the American supermarket industry, potentially benefiting shoppers with increased choice and competition.
