Publix Greenwise Market Not Coming to a Winter Park Near You

We are disappointed to see that the new Publix being built right next to Whole Foods Market is not a Publix GreenWise Market. Seems like a no-brainer to build one to compete. Instead, it'll be a standard Publix. Boo. (Source: Brian Feldman)

What is a Publix GreenWise Market?
(From their website) Many people today are looking for more natural and organic choices. They want to avoid foods raised with pesticides and chemicals, hormones and antibiotics. They're looking for groceries that are less processed and more pure. It was to meet these needs that we decided to open our Publix GreenWise Market stores.

They offer more than a wide array of organic, all-natural, and earth-friendly items, however. We wanted to offer a truly enjoyable experience, full of conveniences and exciting products and flavors. That's why we included a Prepared Foods section with freshly made international cuisine; curbside pickup for those prepared foods (select locations); and event planning and cooking demonstrations. It's why you'll find so many artisan cheeses, fine wines, and desserts here.

We wanted to offer the opportunity to simply relax, so we provided a Café with coffees and smoothies, a mezzanine with seating and a wi-fi network. And of course, we wanted to give you everything you love about Publix, like the quick checkout and complimentary carryout service.
