Whole Story

Don't forget: Our 30^th birthday is coming up and we’re giving away 30 trips-for-two to help us celebrate in our birthplace: Austin, Texas! To thank you for your long-term support and tremendous loyalty, we are inviting our shoppers to enter our “A Heart as Big as Texas” contest. Thirty winners will receive trips for two in September to our world headquarters in Austin. The winners will be treated to a VIP culinary weekend event provided by Whole Foods Market and our anniversary partners, Texas Tourism, JetBlue Airways and the Radisson Austin. To enter, visit our 30^th Birthday contest page and share your special stories, inspirations and memories on why you love Whole Foods Market in 300 words or less. Submissions must be received by June 30. Entries will be judged on their originality, creativity and passion for Whole Foods Market. Bringing “A Heart as Big as Texas” to life are Texas Tourism, the state’s marketing entity which promotes the Lone Star State’s seven diverse regions, bold experiences and flavors to travelers nation- and worldwide; JetBlue Airways, which will offset the travel emissions from the 60 flights awarded in the contest through donations to its carbon-offset partner Carbonfund.org; and Radisson Austin, which offers upscale accommodations on Lady Bird Lake, just blocks away from Austin’s entertainment district and from Whole Foods Market’s landmark store and global headquarters. It’s going to be a LOT of fun so get those creative juices flowing and be sure to enter by June 30^th. By the way, we officially turn 30 on Monday, September 20. We’ll host “30 Years Fresh” festivities during the weekend of September 17 at our world headquarters in Austin and at all of our 295 stores across North America and the U.K. So, even if you don’t win a trip to Austin, you can still join the party!
