Whole Foods Market Opens New Virginia Store
Falls Church, Va., is home to a new Whole Foods Market as the grocer’s new 45,000-square-foot store is located at 103 E. Broad Street.
The new store replaces the long-standing Falls Church store at 7511 Leesburg Pike, which has been a part of the community for more than 25 years. The new store’s product assortment includes more than 700 locally sourced items from the DC, Maryland and Virginia area, each meeting Whole Foods’ Quality Standards.
“We’re proud to continue serving the Falls Church community as we have for more than 25 years, now from our new, expanded location,” said Sergio Pardo, store team leader at Whole Foods Market. “This store showcases the best of local producers and brands from the DMV area, offering a curated selection of fresh and unique products. Our team is excited to welcome customers into a space designed to deliver both exceptional service and an elevated shopping experience.”
Opening morning, customers were treated to complimentary coffee and baked goods from. The first 300 shoppers in line were given a limited-edition Falls Church tote bag and a Secret Saver coupon, featuring offers of up to $100.
Additionally on opening morning, Whole Foods Market provided a food donation to Northern Virginia Food Rescue. 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.
