So where is the new Publix near 393??? Forgive me in advance if the answer is buried in this thread. I did a quick peruse, but the posts strayed greatly from sj's original subject.

Y'all REALLY do not want a Whole Foods here, not kidding. They're snakes in hippie clothing. Both Mr. OM & I worked there. The organic produce is not that great & it isn't any better than Publix, Starbucks, etc. They go in & take over local stores & markets. The only one I liked was Harry's Farmers' Market, because the produce section was awesome!

If you want a small chain health food store, Earth Fare out of Asheville would be best in that genre. OR for Ed & Rachel to open another satellite FTHOI....

PLEASE! We actually need a grocery store with coolers that work and vegetables that are edible in Freeport. The owners of Kelley's just don't seem to care. I would prefer to buy from locals but they need to have a product that is reasonable (price and quality) and that does not exist in NoWal. As it is, the nearest "real" grocery store is in Niceville or DFS.

Ohhhh I love Wegmans!!! We have a Wegmans in every town back home (Rochester, NY). No Wegmans down south yet.

Have any of you heard of Wegman's? They are the ultimate grocery store! Fortune magazine has voted them as one of the top companies in the country to work for. The average store is 160,000 square feet and is two stories tall. I drive 45 minutes to get to the only Wegman's in Maryland. It is the most incredible store you will ever shop in. I don't think there are any in the south. They originated in New York.

I have friends that tell me about how wonderful Wegman's is. I have loved Publix as far back as I can remember. Whenever I go to Publix, I tell friends and family I am going to pleasure myself. It's a play on their great advertising slogan, 'Where shopping is a pleasure.' And it is. Everyone there (at any of them from Miami to Nashville) is so nice and helpful. What is Wegman's advertisement slogan, do they have one?

I was told it would be complete sometime in 2009 (fall I think?)
I can't remember for the life of me exactly which parcel it is... I couldn't pinpoint it and I was a little afraid that it was one of the ones with the newer For Sale signs up...

It does still have the old "for sale" sign posted, but it isn't actively listed.
