Shop for more than food this Valentine’s Day

Lonely on Valentine’s Day?  You’re not alone.  Shop with us between 5pm and 9pm on Friday the 13th or from 3pm-9pm on Saturday the 14th for more than just food.  When you come into the store choose a bracelet to indicate what you are shopping for (male or female) and then hit the aisles.  You’ll know which shoppers are looking for dinner and which ones are interested in desert.

After you have met that special someone in aisle 6 join us from 6pm-9pm on Saturday the 14th and get to know them better.  We’ll have a live DJ, food and games to break the ice as you get to know each other.

Exciting Changes at Capitol Hill

The Capitol Hill Whole Foods Market is about to start a remodel.  We are so excited for the changes to come.  Some of them you will not see like new floors behind the counters and new refrigeration compressors.  Some changes you will see like a new bulk section, a customer service desk and a new olive bar. 

We know there will be some inconveniences for you during the process and for that we sincerely apologize.  We will do everything we can to make this process as smooth as we can for you.  Keep your eye on this blog for the latest information.

Our crews will be putting in the new refrigeration compressors overnight starting on Monday, February 9th.  The next morning we will need some time for the coolers to get cold enough before we can put the products back on the shelf.  Because of this all of our dairy coolers, the prepared foods case, bakery and cheese cases as well as the salad and olive bars and the meat department will be shut down the morning of Tuesday, February 10th until about 2pm.  These cases should reopen by mid afternoon the same day. 

Thanks for your understanding during this process.  When we are done you will have more products to choose from and a better, safer store to purchase them in.
