The Wild Oats/Whole Foods transition was completed in October 2008. We checked in for an update.
In addition to more seating for in-store dining, Whole Foods carries products from more than 22 local producers… and not just fruits and veggies. “We have local cheese, raw food, body care, and honey,” says Liza Burke, the marketing team leader at the store. “And we are actively seeking additional local producers.“ Customers curious about the origin of local products can review a map that is located at the front of the store.
While the fundamental core values of the two merged stores are similar, some differences remain.
