Whole Foods Market signage going up now in Stuy Town

Photo by Diane Randall 

On Monday, we mentioned that the Whole Foods Market is shaping up at 409 E. 14th St. between Avenue A and First Avenue. 

This afternoon, workers are hanging the signage. The Whole thing (sorry) is not up yet. 

The smaller-format store will offer more grab-pay-and-go items and the usual WF merch.

      FYiI - Whole Foods is the cheapest grocery store in the City by far (aside from Trader Joe’s which is gross). And the meat/produce quality beats anything in the area.

      Annony 10:52: agreed 100%. Wegmans is a close second. Trader Joes is awful.

    I live on 7th and C. Nearby Associated, which lacks in both quality and selection, is far more expensive than Whole Foods. This will be an excellent addition to our hood. Can't wait.

    I have been trying to move my shopping away from WF with mixes success. Wegman's has better meat and seafood and C Town, on Avenue C and 12th Street, has really upgraded in recent years and has a wide range of brands and price points. WF still best for fresh and frozen organic produce and for baking supplies so haven't been able to drop them entirely.

    Shop Fair on Avenue C at 4th street has extremely reasonable prices, good selection of produce and free delivery - I shop in person and there is always a guy on hand that will push my overflowing cart to my apartment and carry all the bags upstairs!
    I tip well but the door to door free delivery is SO worth it.

    I try to buy my exquisite organic labels at the local health food store instead of WFs or anything found in Trader Joe's. Support small businesses.

      In this economy, i support my wallet first. Also, a lot of these small businesses do not do a good job of quality control. Seen some stuff that has clearly expired sitting around. My health and wallet come first.
