Publix GreenWise Markets Expands

LAKELAND, Fla., Feb. 6, 2007—After in-depth studies of the health, natural and organic sectors, Publix Super Markets has decided to expand its Publix GreenWise Markets to include two additional locations:

• 526 21st St., Vero Beach, Fla. - 37,000 square feet (a conversion of an existing Publix store) and
• Tampa, Fla., northeast corner of Armenia & Azeele streets - 39,000 square feet (a newly constructed building).

Currently, work is underway on locations in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., and Boca Raton, Fla., respectively,

• 11231 Legacy Ave. -  a new 39,000 square foot building - and
• 21230 Saint Andrews Blvd. - 36,000 square feet (a conversion of an existing Publix store).

"At Publix, we're committed to serving the changing lifestyle and nutritional needs of our customers," said Maria Brous, Publix director of media and community relations. "We have seen exceptional growth in the health, natural and organic food areas of our traditional stores. Publix GreenWise Markets will allow for an environment focused on natural foods as well as provide a venue with an emphasis on prepared foods."

The first Publix GreenWise Market is expected to open later this year in Palm Beach Gardens. Opening dates for the additional locations are not yet available.
