Whole Story

Traveling on vacation this summer? We want to go with you! Or maybe just find us when you get there. Many of our stores are just a hop, skip or a subway/tube/bus stop from many of your favorite summer destinations. Over the summer, we’ll be featuring stores near destinations around the U.S., U.K. and Canada that are conveniently located near vacation destinations like historical landmarks, beaches, artsy and adventurous escapades, festivals and more! 8 out of 10* Whole Foods Market team members agree that when planning a vacation, preparations usually include a search for the closest Whole Foods Market. Does that make us grocery store nerds? Yep. But more importantly, traveling means that we can check out stores we’ve never seen before and easily find the high quality products we love while we’re away from home. *Data based on an informal poll of team members in Austin, Texas. And, um, we asked the people who would support our point. It was just kind a fun way to open the blog post, you know? Don’t put any stock in it. If you’re traveling to London this summer – here are a few of our stores that are just around the corner from some must-see destinations. Whole Foods Market stores in London:
