Publix
GreenWise Markets is a concept the company is trying in response to
the increase in the number and profitability of health food stores and
increasing awareness of nutrition, and will focus on natural and organic
items, similar to a Whole Foods Market. This is an expansion of a concept
that already has been running for several years, as most stores already
have a "GreenWise" section.
Founded in 2006 by Matt Wernecke, El Bravo's mission is to expand the
world of Mexican cuisine to new audiences and give health-conscious and
food-loving consumers access to great tasting organic food choices.
