Whole Foods has arrived!!!

[Stefinitely Maybe]

Whole Foods opened its first UK store yesterday.

I'll probably go check it out next week. I like the ones I've been to in the US... horribly over-priced though they are.

[bug on your lip]

in Minneapolis i swear the most unattractive, disheveled, unshaven & fashion-challenged people shop at ORGANIC grocery stores.

i would guess in the UK you can multiply the fuglies by 4

Hey I am none of that!! But then I have only shopped at the ones in Las Vegas and Colorado!

There's one in Vegas? That seems so wrong... Vegas is meant to be corrupt and unsavoury, not wholesome!

4? you're too generous. I'd've said 40.

[bug on your lip]

if i had said 40 there was a good mathematical chance that said population would have included members of Stef's family and/or current or past girlfriends, and that would have led to bad feelings, tears and fisticuffs

[kreutz2112]

so could you only buy half an apple before this store came about?

[Stefinitely Maybe]

Who the fuck needs to make their own muesli? That's just ridiculous.

In my area it's the stuffy, trying to be earthy, big boobed crowd that shop there.

The unshaven and fashion-challenged work there.

Scary enough but there is 2 with 2 more opening in the near future..

Whole Foods. Mmmm. Kale salad with cranberries and pine nuts. The olive bar, the cheese area, the sandwich area. GINGER BREAD!!! I gotta go. Now I"m hungry.

[captncrzy]

Whole Foods is the only place I can find ground annatto seeds.

I see that the Federal Trade Commission is suing to block the merger of Whole Foods markets with Wild Oats markets.

Great beer selection!!!!

[J~$$$]

Wow.....The beer selection at whole foods has to be so overpriced. What kind of beer do you typically buy from whole foods?

Organic Bud

Yea it is over-priced, but it's walking/biking distance from my house, and they have a lovely selection of Belgian beers. I love Belgian beers.

do they have gulden drakk?

I don't see why they could if you compare them with the oligopoly that the major brands have. I love the turkey burgers at Wild Oats. I don't like how Wild Oats replaced Jurgensens in Pasadena. It was much better under that company.

Farmers' markets. Plus Trader Joe's. Plus my new love:



cause who doesn't love 20 limes for $1?

[bmack86]

The people who shop at Whole Foods near me are mostly anorexic looking, health conscious freaks who you'd recognize from film and tv.

[algunz]

do they have gulden drakk?

Yes, mmmm - yummy.

this is an actual interesting thing that you said, ken.

we have wild oats here, but we do not have whole foods. wild oats is a even-further overpriced, poor selection rip-off of whole foods.


also - i didn't notice bug's ragingdave sig until now, but lollercopter for sure.

I love Ignorant Bastard.

Are you trying to make a funny or did you just get the name wrong? Or is there a beer I dont know of similar to Arrogant Bastard?

It was a typo.

[chrislasf]

For a minute I thought they might have spawned another branch of beer and this would please me considering that, yes youre right, Arrogant Bastard is delicious.

Youre from LA, right? Do you ever go to the 3rd Stop? Its a bar with a fantastic tap selection near the Beverly Center. They have Arrogant on tap.

This is the first I've heard of the FTC taking legal action against WO/WF. Any links to said information?
