History of Wynn’s Market
The story begins in 1938 when businessman Peter Parley Wynn moved from Lakeland to Naples and bought the Bayview Inn in what is now the City Docks. He and his wife Vida also ran a grocery store and restaurant alongside the inn.
Once the war was over, son Don returned home to Naples, fell in love and married Annie Merle Echols. In 1948 Don opened the original Wynn’s Market, known as Sunshine Super Market, on the corner of 7th Street and Fifth Avenue South. It quickly gained a reputation for providing high-quality groceries, fresh produce, meats, and baked goods for the 600 local residents and snowbirds in the expanding city.

The gourmet grocery stores continued to expand all over the city as younger son Tim joined the operation. He still runs the Tamiami Trail store today, and puts Wynn’s success down to offering unique items that cannot be sourced in larger supermarkets, along with great personal service.
Shoppers will find an impressive line of gourmet delicacies, hard-to-source ingredients, quality food gifts, kitchen gadgets, and bespoke gift baskets made to order.
Wynn’s Full Range of Departments and Services
Shoppers cannot help but linger at the displays of the “from scratch” bakery department where wonderful sweet treats and savory items, including European staples, steadily roll out of the ovens. Many of the American specialty items are still baked to the original recipes of Annie Wynn.
