Markets

Its huge! Whole Foods on Arroyo.

What do you all think?

Over the Christmas holiday, I wandered into the biggest Whole Foods I’ve ever seen!

From the Whole Foods web page:
“The largest Whole Foods Market west of the Rockies has opened its doors in Pasadena. This 2 story, 76,770 square foot store blends the concept of in-store dining with a supermarket by adding innovative features like an extensive Seafood Bar, Wine and Tapas Lounge, Asian and Italian eateries, a fresh Juice Bar and a Nut Roaster; a Specialty department with more than 300 selections of cheeses; a Bakery department with custom cake decorating and fresh donuts made by the hour; eco-chic apparel, accessories, and home goods from Whole Body and a relaxing Take a Break Massage Room.”

Will the cliche change from “feeling like a kid in a candy store” to “an urban shopper in a Whole Foods?”

From a business point of view, will super sizing the stores be a good move in the long run?
