Two-thousand seventeen was a big year for the organic grocery business in Southwest Florida, with long-anticipated projects like the Lucky's Market at Westfield Siesta Key and Sprouts Farmers Market in Pelican Plaza at U.S. 41 and Beneva Roads finally coming to fruition. Both stores welcomed hundreds of people for their grand openings in April and October, respectively. Sarasota's second Whole Foods Market hasn't announced a grand opening yet, but the grocery store at the intersection of Honore Avenue and University Parkway is expected to open in the coming weeks.
