Whole Foods Market® takes Manhattan… Naturally

by Opening New York City's Largest Natural Supermarket

New York - February 15, 2001. Whole Foods Market® (NASDAQ WFMI), the world's

largest retailer of natural and organic foods, announced the opening of its

first Manhattan store today in one of the city's hottest neighborhoods. The new

supermarket—located at 250 Seventh Avenue at 24th Street in Chelsea— brings its

trademark assets to the Big Apple by featuring highest quality, mouth-watering

foods that are free from artificial additives, sweeteners, colorings or

preservatives; outstanding customer service; and contemporary décor, which all

add up to a pleasantly atypical grocery shopping outing.

 

New Yorkers will now be able to enjoy the Whole Foods Market® shopping

experience where an enticing selection of top quality produce, meat, seafood,

cheese, coffee, fish, prepared foods, baked goods and are among the standard

fare. The 30,000 square foot store, which will be crowned the flagship of the 20

year-old company, occupies the storefront of the historic Mercantile Building in

the heart of Chelsea.

 

Whole Body at Whole Foods Market®, also opening today, is a separate 3,000

square foot extension of the store, next door to the supermarket (260 Seventh

Avenue at 25th Street) featuring hundreds of natural beauty and nutrition items

including vitamins, supplements, herbs, homeopathic remedies, cosmetics and body

care products.

 

David Lannon, Vice President, Northeast Region Whole Foods Market®, says the

store will fill an important void for New Yorkers. " We will bring to the world's

greatest city the largest and finest selection of natural and organic foods

packed in taste and flavor, and a sparkling environment in which to shop, " said

Lannon. " All of us at Whole Foods Market look forward to the opportunity to

satisfy the most sophisticated and demanding consumers. "

 

Personal attention, usually synonymous with small neighborhood markets, is a

priority at Whole Foods Market®, which currently has 120 stores in 22 states.

The attentive and knowledgeable staff of the Chelsea store is another important

component to the Whole Foods Market® shopping experience.

 

Otto Leuschel, Store Team Leader at the Chelsea location, has been with the

company for ten years and he says the store represents a new frontier in

supermarket shopping. " While New York has some of the best food stores in the

world, we are striving to create something different here, " says Leuschel, who

will offer customers zoned delivery service from 96th Street to Battery Park.

" Simply put, we offer great food, the most enjoyable environment in which to

shop and professional, courteous service. "
