It’s a Whole Foods!

Are you going to find vegan snacks, drinks, and maybe a sandwich/salad? Yes. Whole Foods is reliable that way. But you’ll pay a premium and it is a premium that won’t be going to the workers. The co-op is down the street and deserves your money more. Also, I have never experienced such reluctance to hand out a bathroom code to a patron before. Every worker who is not a cashier will tell you that you have to ask a cashier. So forget taking your kid to the bathroom in the middle of your shopping trip. You had better buy something and get the code on the receipt!

Not Much of Anything

For a natural grocer to tout itself as Whole Foods. Not much of anything, if anything plant based made creatively for those who would like to consume a variety of vegan cuisine. Box products are always at volume. Maybe with the newly built across the street super complex store coming at some point, more space or whatever is required will ensue for more diversity along the food menu. With hope, that is. Customer service is friendly and distribution with sellable items are familiar within all their stores. Definitely a go to when needing something on the road.

All if the vegan prepared food was out of stock

All of it. They had labels and nothing in the shelves. All if the non-vegan items were well stocked.

Busy Market but Lots of Items

This WAS my favorite store when I 1st went vegan.

I really like Whole Foods- I have learned that I can get lost for an easy hour and half or so.

I like the produce selection-although I'd be happier if it was ALL organic OR at least grouped together (organic and non-organic).

They have a fairly good selection of vegan options but they do light up the grill fairly often with lots of meat options.

Pros: Many Items, Vegan Options, Massage tables avail

Cons: Some employees do not know product info , Parking, Turning left from the parking area

WFM - [see tos]

I was going here on a regular basis once they started serving the beyond meat in the deli. I was just getting burritos with it. My buddy liked getting it in the salad bar. But they just about stopped having it in the salad bar at all.
Then one time the burrito wasn't tasting to good. And I thought, oh, it must just be me. Than for the next couple of days I was pretty messed up. But I gave them another chance. I get another burrito, get back to my shop, and the rice is so hard it just about breaks my teeth. I call the store and inform them and I get treated like I'm just some pest.
So I ate the burrito anyways, $7 a burrito, I'm not about to waste it. What a mistake that was. Missed a whole day of work the next day and messed me up once again.
Doing a Google search, I realize I am not the only person to have this happen.
I gave them another chance after the first incident, but it would just be foolish of me to give them a 3rd chance?
And the deli manager that made my burrito on 1 occasion, was looking elsewhere the entire time he was making the burrito. And he used the scoop for the real chicken to scoop up the fake chicken. He was looking at the other employees in the distance. And he was the manager. Makes you think about how concerned he is about basic food prep and guidelines.

Pros: Some Vegan Options, Hours Open, Locations

Cons: [see tos], Horrible Service, Cost

Good as Ever

This Whole Foods has a sort of congested carpark. Entrance is ok; exits can be troublesome. Staff is always friendly & helpful. Have enjoyed a sitting masssage. Otherwise; about the same as most Whole Foods(not the huge ones in larger cities). Thanks.

No Longer Wild Oats

Anyone who shops at this store knows that it is now a Whole Foods Market. Whole Foods took it over recently. I like shopping there because I can always find a parking space. I like the variety. They have conventional and organic foods for sale. The atmosphere and staff are friendly and helpful. I'm glad that its now a Whole Foods as the variety is better.

Pros: organic, friendly, large variety
