✨ Something BIG is coming to Georgetown… and it’s more than just Publix. 👀

If you’ve driven by Frankfort Road and McClelland Circle, you’ve probably noticed that things are officially moving.🚧

Georgetown’s Publix will be located in the new Elkhorn Village Center, a major retail development that will bring a new wave of growth to the west side of town.

But here’s the part people really want to know 👇

👉 This isn’t just a grocery store.
👉 It’s a full shopping center with multiple outlots and retail spaces planned.

And based on current city planning filings tied to the project, several restaurant names have already been associated with the development, including:
🍗 City Barbeque
🥡 Panda Express
🍔 Wendy’s (additional location)
☕ 7 Brew Coffee

⚠️ Important note: These are tied to planning documents and proposed outlots, so timelines (and even final tenants) can change, but it gives a very real preview of what could be coming.

Beyond those, there’s still space for:
🍴 More restaurants
☕ Additional coffee spots
🛍️ More retail

📍 Bottom line:
This development is shaping up to be a major food and shopping hub for Georgetown over the next couple of years and one of the biggest changes to the local dining scene in a long time.

👀 So let's hear it. Which one are you most excited about? Or what is still missing?
