We've been watching the progress of construction for a new Whole Foods in our area. Today is the grand opening! Should be interesting browsing.
Just a few of the exciting things our new store has to offer:
Wine tasting room with 80 wines on tap
Sausage and smoked meats made in-house
An extensive dry-aged beef selection
Meat and seafood entrees ready to take home and cook
Whole fish cut to order
Wide assortment of shellfish, oysters and smoked fish
Steamed spiced shrimp and seafood salads
Tortillas, pitas and European breads baked fresh daily
Gelato made in-house with over 20 different flavors
Hot bar and two salad bars
Brick oven pizza
Sushi
Whole Baby line of baby products
Extensive produce selection with an emphasis on locally grown and organic
Fresh squeezed juice
Custom floral bouquets
Café seating for over 250
The new Whole Sports Bar
A NEW DINING EXPERIENCE
Visit any one of our sit-down eateries. Seafood features fresh oysters, fish & chips, po-boys, ethnic and seasonal seafood dishes and fish soups. If you have a hankering for a pulled pork sandwich and all the sides, then try the Smokehouse. Travel to Asia where we offer steamed dumplings, dim sum, noodle bowls, sushi and more. The Specialty eatery features artisan grilled cheeses and sandwiches, delicious soups and cheese plates. All of our eateries offer beer and wine as well as kids menus.
We also have one just getting ready to open down the street from where I work. I've been to other WF locations and am looking forward to the convenience of having one close by.We've been watching the progress of construction for a new Whole Foods in our area.

I have at least two WFMs nearby and I shop there occasionally. You're right, they're way too spendy.There are a few things I like, pasta sauce, beans and grains, some hard to find juices, etc.
But by and large I find them waaaay too spendy for what you get.
The prepared food is horrible, as they don't season it. But only have 2 of the "restaurant style" WF here. Maybe they are better.
the only time i go there now is for hard to find specialty organic things on rare occasion.
