Whole Foods has been infiltrating neighborhood after neighborhood with organic avocados and sustainable seafood counters over the past few years, and it doesn't look like they'll be slowing down their grocer domination anytime soon: today, the company announced it will soon be opening two new locations, in Harlem and on the Upper East Side. Hello, Harpoon growlers!
The company says a 39,000 square foot Whole Foods is set to be built at 125th St and Lenox Ave, and is expected to open sometime during summer 2015. The 38,000 square foot Upper East Side store is slated for an early 2014 opening, and will be located at 87th St and 3rd Ave. Meanwhile, don't forget about the Whole Foods outpost set to sink its farm fresh fangs into Williamsburg sometime in mid-2014, right next to that hopping Duane Reade bar on Bedford Ave. On the bright side, all those displaced, starving artists can get some free food?
