Earth Fare, a specialty organic and natural foods grocery chain, will open a new store in Lakewood Ranch, Florida, this winter. The 23,500-s.f. store will be part of The Green at Lakewood Ranch, a 525,000-s.f. mixed-use project located within the Collaboration Opportunities for Research and Exploration (CORE) project in Lakewood Ranch. Developed by Tavistock Development Co., a real estate firm based in Orlando, The Green will feature more than two dozen businesses and 300 residences. Earth Fare and LA Fitness will serve as the development’s two anchor tenants.
“In each of our projects, we endeavor to deliver great experiences and to delight and surprise our customers,” said Skipper Peek, SVP of Tavistock. “Earth Fare provides an amazing experience, and we are excited to not only welcome them to The Green but to mark their entrance into this growing market.”
This will be the eighth Florida location for Earth Fare, which currently operates 43 stores in nine states throughout the Southeast and Midwest.
