New Greenwise Store
We recently got the inside scoop from a manager that a new Publix store was opening in South Tampa next year. Why is this new store making news? Because it will be one of a small handful of Greenwise stores in Florida, which is a Publix supermarket that is dedicated to organic, healthy and green living. Not only will these markets become a haven to organic and minimally processed food fans, but they will also offer a “restaurant” within the store, which will serve freshly prepared chef designed entrees, side items and takeout. The most recent store in Boca even has curb-side pick-up so that you don’t even have to leave your car! We’re keeping our fingers crossed for this feature here…
