Whole Foods Market Expands In Philadelphia Metro
Whole Foods Market has expanded its presence in Eastern Pennsylvania with the opening of a new location in the North Philadelphia suburb of Doylestown.
The 43,617-square-foot store at 1745 South Easton Road includes more than 500 locally sourced items from the Mid-Atlantic region. The grocer now has 12 stores in the Philadelphia metropolitan area.
“My family and I have called Doylestown home for almost 20 years, and I am excited to help bring the first Whole Foods Market location to this community,” said Joseph Greenlee, store team leader at Whole Foods Market. “From fresh produce to specialty items sourced from Pennsylvania and across the Mid-Atlantic, this store is a reflection of the incredible food community in the region.”
As part of the grand opening celebration, customers enjoyed complimentary coffee from Backyard Beans and treats from Aaji’s. The first 300 shoppers in line were given a limited-edition Doylestown tote bag and a Secret Saver coupon, featuring offers of up to $100.
Whole Foods Market also made a food donation to Manna on Main Street. The nonprofit previously received a refrigerated van from the company, which makes regular surplus food pickups from Whole Foods Market stores to help prevent food waste and serve the surrounding community.
Both donations are part of Whole Foods Market’s Nourishing Our Neighborhoods program, which aims to enhance the ability of local food rescue organizations to transport food to areas facing the greatest need. Each donated van has the capacity to rescue more than 1 million pounds of food, equating to more than 866,000 meals, per year.
