Welcome to the Lincoln Park store

Forks Over Knives Screening on Friday, February 10th

What if our country’s most debilitating diseases could be prevented by simply changing the way we eat?  Join us for a special screening of “Forks Over Knives,” a revolutionary documentary that explores this very question, followed by a Q&A with Rip Esselstyn (The Engine 2 Diet).  Don’t miss out on this amazing film that could change the way you think about food!  

Screening will take place on Friday, February 10th, at 7pm, at the Hoover-Leppen Theatre, located in the Center on Halsted (3656 N Halsted).  Please register in advance online here.  All participants will receive a goodie bag.

A Letter to Our Customers

Dear Customers,

We moved our most beloved Lincoln Park store to a brand new location at Kingsbury and Sheffield (one block south of North Avenue) on May 20th, 2009. Through its décor and products, this store embodies all the things that make Chicago great. We consider it our homage to one of the greatest cities on the earth.

So, what exactly puts this store on a level all its own?

• Chicago Food Venues: These food venues are like mini Chicago restaurants, without the wait.
• Exclusive Product Line: Not only is this list of products exclusive to Whole Foods Market, it’s also exclusive to this store – and local! From Club Lucky pasta sauce to La Creperie crepes, these products will only be available at Whole Foods Market Kingsbury.
• International Cookie Club: Our Club features cookies that originated in the far reaches of the earth, but were made right here in Chicago. It’s priced by weight, so our customers can mix and match as many cookies as they want.
• Graffiti Artist: To add a little more artistic flare to the store, we hired a local graffiti artist to create a work of art on the east wall. At 12X7 feet, it features an abstract look at the Chicago skyline.
• Music Stage: We’re thrilled to offer our shoppers a new kind of entertainment while they shop…and eat…or drink, for that matter..
• Parking: 400 spaces, just for our customers. Need we say more? Oh yeah, it’s free with purchase.
• Automated Express Check-Out: We’re proud to be the first grocery store in Chicago to use an automated system that has proven to reduce the time people have to wait in line.

We are very excited to show you our new store.

Best Regards,

Rich Howley
Store Team Leader
