The whole foods in wdm opens today. In 5 years will it still be around?
Whole Foods had been studying locations around the Western Suburbs for years before deciding to put this one in WDM. Just across the street in Clive is the highest income neighborhood in the metro. The City of WDM recruited them with incentives to keep and attract "young urban professionals" living in their city. I haven't been, but this location looks a bit smaller than other Whole Foods.
I would guess so. Trader Joe's does really well, doesn't it, and it's more expensive for different foods? Also, the smaller organic markets do really well.
yes, it'll be around...may kill the fareway that took the old CompUSA store on University though
Trader Joes is cheaper than whole foods from what I have seen.
If Trader Joe's can make it then Whole Foods will too. WF does have some high quality items. This board seems pretty anti-organic, but WF is worth trying.
I still have no idea how Trader Joe's does well. Two Buck Chuck really enough to keep that place growing? Seems like just a lot of off brand food to me like a higher end Aldi
If they are going by that model they will do fine, there are thousands of Aldi's.

Your use of the word "interesting" is questionable.Here is an interesting read: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/07/08/b...anies-influence.html?_r=2&partner=rss&emc=rss
"The fact is, organic food has become a wildly lucrative business for Big Food and a premium-price-means-premium-profit section of the grocery store. The industry’s image — contented cows grazing on the green hills of family-owned farms — is mostly pure fantasy. Or rather, pure marketing.
