Publix Closure - Fight Back!
Initiative: Protect Access to Groceries at Atlantic Station
Atlantic Station is at a turning point. Our only full-service grocery store — Publix, the critical anchor for our walkable, mixed-use community — has announced its closure. This decision puts tens of thousands of residents at risk of losing reliable access to fresh food, household essentials, and everyday necessities.
For many of us, this isn’t just inconvenient. It’s food access. SIGN THIS PETITION NOW TO TAKE ACTION.
Rally Details below!!
Without immediate intervention, Atlantic Station is on track to become a food desert in the heart of Midtown Atlanta— this will affects families, seniors, students, and workers alike.
Why This Matters
Atlantic Station was designed to be a self-sustaining, walkable community. Losing Publix threatens that identity.
Thousands of residents rely on access to a grocery store within safe, walkable distance.
Property values, neighborhood desirability, and overall safety are directly tied to stable, accessible retail.
What We’re Doing
The Atlantic Station Civic Association, alongside residents and building boards across the neighborhood, is mobilizing to bring awareness and find solutions.
Our goal is simple:
Prevent Atlantic Station from becoming a food desert and push for collaboration across the relevant authorities to establish an interim solution as well as a long term plan.
How You Can Help
We’ve launched a community petition calling for transparency, accountability, and a plan to preserve grocery access within Atlantic Station.
