The one at Bishops Corner was Wild Oats and then was bought out by Whole Foods.

The BC one doesn’t get AS much business.

Totally unnecessary to have two within a mile of each other.

What's fun is right on the other side of Avon Mountain is another, much larger, Whole Foods. So really even that side of West Hartford could do without it

LOL, sure we do. Fewer lights and free parking. (Not just groceries.)

When I lived in FL there were 2 Publix across the street from each other for a similar reason. The Albertsons across the street went out of business and public didn’t want competition moving in. They’re both always busy though since the road is 4 lanes in each direction and a lot of people living around them. They also have slightly different products available at each.

Publix Super Market at Northeast Park Shopping Center (727) 895-1670 https://maps.app.goo.gl/xq27x3TesG75rdJf8?g_st=ic

Is one used more for deliveries? Amazon logistics or something?

Good question!! Maybe no, in my opinion

Whenever I go into the BC one, there isn’t much going on. But the Blueback Square one has racks and fridges for Amazon and on-line orders.

The Avon Whole Foods is really nice and big. But according to my friend that works for WF, the back areas for the staff are tiny and cramped.

Useless info that I have 😂🤣😂
