LAKELAND, FL - A unique retail collaboration is coming to fruition. Publix announced it will be teaming up with Nashville Soccer Club (SC) as the Major League Soccer (MLS) club’s official supermarket. In addition to seeing Publix’s presence across GEODIS Park, the North Plaza will be known as the Publix North Plaza. There, fans will continue to enjoy the Opening Act on match days and can gather with friends and family for other events outside of home matches.

“We are always looking for opportunities to support the communities where we operate,” said Publix Media Relations Manager Nicole Krauss in a recent press release from the company. “We’ll be cheering on Nashville Soccer Club alongside its fans.”

Throughout the year, players will also make appearances at Nashville-area Publix locations. The best way to stay up to date on when and where to find them is by joining Club Publix, the grocer’s free loyalty program.

In addition to Nashville SC, Publix is the official supermarket of MLS clubs Atlanta United FC, Inter Miami CF, and Orlando City SC. The press release noted that Publix also sponsors numerous youth soccer organizations across its operating area, including the Tennessee State Soccer Association.
