Whole Foods Market Boosting New York Store Count
Whole Foods Market is expanding in New York with its forthcoming new store that will call the North Shore of Long Island home.
The 43,916-square-foot store will be located at 350 Walt Whitman Road in Huntington Station and will officially open on July 17.
According to the company, the store’s design emphasizes simplicity and modernity, incorporating elements reminiscent of the bay area’s fluidity and the neighborhood’s commuter heritage. The store’s product assortment will include more than 2,000 local items from the Northeast, sourced with the help of John Lawson, Forager for Local & Emerging Brands at Whole Foods Market.
During the grand opening celebration, customers will enjoy coffee from Sail Away Coffee Co., muffins from Abe’s and a sunflower photo station from Tucker Farms. The first 300 customers in line will receive a limited-edition Huntington Station tote bag and a Secret Saver coupon featuring offers up to $100 off.
To give back to the community, Whole Foods Market has partnered with local suppliers and organizations, including Helping Hands Rescue Mission, Long Island Cares, and Island Harvest.
On opening day, Whole Foods Market will donate a Nourishing Our Neighborhoods van to We All We Got, Inc., along with $3,000 in products as part of the Stuff the Van event. This initiative, part of the Nourishing Our Neighborhoods program launched in 2020, aims to enhance the operational capabilities of local food rescue organizations, enabling efficient transport of food from surplus locations to areas with the greatest need.
