Publix To Close GreenWise Market Location In East Cobb

EAST COBB, GA — Publix will shutter its GreenWise Market location in East Cobb this weekend, after roughly 18 months of serving the community, according to multiple news outlets.

The last day to shop at the Sandy Plains Road location of GreenWise Market will be Saturday, East Cobb News reported. That store, which spans over 25,000 square feet, opened in June 2020 and has served as the anchor for the Sandy Plains Marketplace shopping center.

GreenWise Market stores were designed to be Publix's version of Whole Foods Market and The Fresh Market, according to Tomorrow's News Today Atlanta (ToNeTo ATL), offering a wider variety of natural, organic offerings than a typical Publix store. GreenWise Market locations also have fresh-made burritos, sushi, acai bowls, smoothies and pizza.

Orkin & Associates bought the Sandy Plains Marketplace shopping center for $43.8 million in January 2020, ToNeTo ATL reported. This is the third closing of a GreenWise Market location in the last year, with Publix closing two market stores in South Carolina last August.

GreenWise Market, located at 3460 Sandy Plains Road, will be open 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. each day until it's expected to close Saturday.
