Publix Super Market Coming to Orange Beach

As reported by Mobile Press Register:


Publix Super Market plans to open a 54,000-square-foot store this spring in Orange Beach's Shoppes at Palm Pointe at the northwest corner of Alabama 182 and 161, according to Ken Bailey of Brigham Williams Commer cial Properties in Birmingham. The store will anchor the 194,000-square-foot retail center, he said. The Lakeland, Fla.-based grocer has 28 stores in Alabama, though this will be the first in south Alabama.

Guy Harvey's Island Grill will open in April in the archway on the marina at The Wharf , a mixed-use development on the Intracoastal Waterway in Orange Beach, according to Jeff Rouzie of The Wharf. Guy Harvey, a marine-biologist-turned-wildlife artist, diver and photographer who lives in Grand Cayman, also will open a 5,650-square-foot Guy Harvey Art Gallery to the east of the 7,000-square-foot Island Grill, and on the west side, a 3,300-square-foot Harvey clothing store, according to Rouzie.
