Publix GreenWise Market opened its newest location in the redeveloped Water Street neighborhood of Tampa, Florida. It is the second of its new-concept specialty, natural and organic stores to be located in a high-rise, multiuse building. Above the store are two towers of apartment living and a parking garage.
According to the company, the specialty food store offers a variety of organic groceries, familiar favorites, house-made specialties, and more for health-conscious and gourmet foodies alike.
It also includes locally curated items and experience zones with products for any occasion. For example, for grab & go options, customers can visit POURS and EATS zones. Gourmet cheese, olives, cured meats, and wine pairings from around the globe can be found in FINDS. More options to cook at home can be found in CUTS and PRODUCE, with personal care items in CARES, said the grocery store in a press release.
