Jacksonville is a city that’s always growing – but sometimes it’s easy to lose track of how far we’ve come. To help add some perspective, we’ve compiled a list of 15 things that Jacksonville didn’t have just 15 years ago – but that we do have now!
Publix and Winn-Dixie are still the dominant grocery options in Jax – but 15 years ago, they pretty much had the market cornered.
Around that time, grocers Albertsons and Food Lion had exited the Jacksonville market. Harris Teeter was around, but never gained much traction here and would leave by 2006.
But now, there are significantly more options available. In addition to Publix and Winn-Dixie, shoppers can visit Earth Fare, The Fresh Market, Whole Foods Market, Lucky’s Market, ALDI, and a few others.
If you still choose one of the “Big Two”, there’s nothing wrong with that. But at least now we have options!
