Palm Beach Gardens is getting another organic grocery store.
Plum Market, which sells all-natural and locally sourced food and everyday products, plans to open in February 2026 at the Prosperity Centre plaza on PGA Boulevard east of Prosperity Farms Road. This will be the grocer’s second Florida location, with its other one in Aventura.
It has more than 30 locations across the nation — some of them in airports. The first Plum Market opened in Bloomfield Township, Michigan, in 2007. The storefront, which was formerly occupied by Bed Bath & Beyond, spans 30,000 square feet, which is about twice the size of a traditional Trader Joe’s.
“We are thrilled to bring the Plum Market experience to Palm Beach Gardens and welcome guests from across Palm Beach County," wrote Matt Jonna, Plum Market’s chief executive officer and co-founder, in a prepared statement.
"Our focus on local sourcing, with over 100 local brands, demonstrates our dedication to supporting the community and providing the freshest, highest-quality products."
Plum Market chose to open a store in Palm Beach Gardens because it has received “a lot of organic interest” from the area, a spokesperson said. Its build-out will cost about $10 million and construction will begin in a couple of weeks. It plans to have a staff of 150 people.
Plum Market joins slew of health-food grocers near Palm Beach Gardens
The nearby area has a wealth of health-food grocers.
The new Plum Market will sit about 2 miles away from a Whole Foods Market, about 3 miles away from a Fresh Market and about 6 miles away from Sprouts Farmers Market. A Trader Joe’s is also less than a one-half mile away. There also are three Publix supermarkets within 3 miles of the Plum site.
Not only is northern Palm Beach County welcoming new grocers, but longtime grocers there are upgrading as well.
The Publix at the Promenade Plaza in Palm Beach Gardens has been closed for more than a year while it was torn down and rebuilt with a modern look, wider aisles and a larger selection of products. It will open again on May 8.
What does Plum Market sell?
What sets Plum Market apart is its focus on goods from local sources. Its products and services include:
Who is Plum Market owned by?
Plum Market was founded by brothers Matt and Marc Jonna.
They are third-generation grocers who grew up working in their family’s stores which sold specialty products and wine.
Whole Foods later purchased their outlets. They worked for the Whole Foods national operations team before leaving to start Plum Market in 2006.
Is Plum Market organic?
Plum Market has a focus on selling organic goods, but it does not exclusively sell organic products.
"Plum Market's decision to grow in Palm Beach Gardens reinforces the strength of this market and the draw of our neighborhood centers," wrote Patrick McKinley, senior vice president of Regency Centers, developer of Prosperity Centre, in a statement.
"Their high-quality offerings and community-first mindset are exactly what we look for in an operator and what our customers expect from a Regency property."
