Plans have been submitted to the Mobile Planning Commission for approval of a planned unit development or PUD, that would allow for construction of a grocery and three or four retail stores on land off Spring Hill Avenue,according to Doug Anderson, a local attorney who is representing the developer, Aronov Realty based in Montgomery. The developer has kept the name of the store a secret, but Realtors have said it's likely to be Publix or the natural food retailer Earth Fare, based in Fletcher, N.C.

The proposed site, owned by Infirmary Health System, stretches from Spring Hill Avenue back to Old Shell Road and includes Fontainebleau Apartments at 1759 Spring Hill Ave., the Infirmary Federal Credit Union, 1753 Spring Hill Ave.; and the 3.5-acre former Ernest Construction property which fronts Old Shell Road.

Interesting read, PortCity! There seems to be a lot of interest in these type of natural food markets, even in AL -- was surprised to see that Auburn, Huntsville and Montgomery already have these Earth Fare - the healthy supermarket stores.

So, what do you think of that location in Midtown? And, how successful they'll be about acquiring the space, as well as a market niche in Midtown? Seems that Fairhope would be a good location for one as well.

I think it would do well with midtown but the location is not the best for traffic as we all now that some parts of mid town is very tight.I think Florida street would be better for traffic flow unless they decide to widen the street.

Earth Fare sounds great for taking over the empty space left by Food World here in Fairhope. If they come to Mobile, it would be just as easy to have another location here. We'd welcome all food stores, specially fresh produce and health food suppliers.

There is a great chain in Texas, originally from Oklahoma, that I'd love to see here also. It's called Market Street, and they are the upscale branch of United Supermarkets. They've been expanding in the DFW area...so, who knows. Also, Trader Joe's would be great!
