Whole Foods Market Opens Third Small Format Store
Whole Foods Market has opened its third smaller-format store concept, with its newest location in New York City’s Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood.
The 8,500-square-foot store at 301 West 50th Street features more than 400 local items sourced from the Northeast. The store is open daily from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.
“I am honored to help open the third Whole Foods Market Daily Shop in New York City. This neighborhood is very dynamic – we’re steps away from great entertainment and some of the best restaurants in the City,” said Joel Jimenez, store team leader for Whole Foods Market Daily Shop. “If you need a quick lunch, some ingredients on your way home from work, or if you’re stopping in for dinner to-go ahead of a show, we’re ready to serve you!”
As part of its ongoing commitment to supporting local communities, Whole Foods Market contributed in-kind product to support the work of New York Common Pantry. Whole Foods Market will also donate to the local nonprofit Hell’s Kitchen Farm Project.
In May, the grocer opened its second Whole Foods Market Daily Shop location in New York’s East Village’s StuyTown development. Future Whole Foods Market Daily Shop locations are also planned for Hoboken, N.J., and Brooklyn’s Williamsburg neighborhood. The first location in the Washington D.C. area is planned for the Crystal City neighborhood of Arlington, Va.
