Publix Super Markets Inc. seems well poised to adapt to the future of the grocery industry.
A new report from JLL highlights the changing dynamics of grocery stores through 2018 — what it calls the "shifting grocery landscape." Customers who are driven by health, value and experience will drive customers to what JLL categorizes as “fresh format stores” — think Whole Foods Market, The Fresh Market — that prioritize fresh produce and offer organic, natural and specialty foods.
Those stores, JLL projects, will see an increase in store count by 63 percent by 2018, and sales are projected to grow more than 90 percent.
