Publix: Deshong, Panola and S. Hairston Stores Staying Open

Publix, which plans to close its Memorial Drive store in the Memorial Bend shopping center on Jan. 9, isn't closing its Deshong or Panola road locations in Stone Mountain and Lithonia, respectively, a spokeswoman told Patch.

The company "doesn't have other stores slated to close at this time," said Publix media and community relations manager Brenda Reid.

After it closes the Memorial Drive location, Publix's remaining Stone Mountain store will be at 380 N. Deshong Rd. The Lithonia Publix is at 3045 Panola Rd.

Near unincorporated Stone Mountain, Publix also has a store at 2075 S. Hairston Rd., Decatur (unincorporated).
