Find Your Go-To Grocery Store in Prosperity Village<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/h2>\n

From The Wrenley, there are two full grocery stores nearby: <\/span><\/span>Publix at Prosperity Village Square<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a> and the Harris Teeter at the Shoppes at Highland Creek.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Publix at Prosperity Village Square is located on Benfield Road, offering a nearby option for groceries and prepared foods. You get a full bakery and deli section for fresh sandwiches and cold cuts.

The Harris Teeter at 5810 Prosperity Church Road adds two things worth having during a move: member sale prices and a pharmacy counter.
