Earth Fare will open a store in St. Johns, Florida in the second quarter or 2021, reports Progressive Grocer. This marks the grocers return to the area after shuttering all of its locations last year. The 24,144-square-foot store will be located at the Shoppes of St. Johns Parkways in St. Johns County, described by real estate owner and developer Sleiman Enterprises as “one of the fastest growing counties in the United States.”
“By welcoming Earth Fare back to St. Johns, we are providing the community with a healthy choice in the market for groceries, which we believe is desperately needed in more communities across the country,” said Toney Sleiman, principal at Sleiman. “Earth Fare promises to provide communities, sometimes underserved, with healthy foods and locally sourced items. It’s so important now to provide groceries and goods to sustain our communities and, ultimately, strengthen them.”
“You will find many of the same trusted brands and house-made specialties back in our store, and we are adding some new ones,” said David Isinghood, Earth Fare’s COO. “Keeping our food philosophy and product standards at the forefront, we are expanding our craftsmanship and increasing our selection of organic produce and local offerings.” Full Story
