Whole Foods Market debuts quick-shop store design
March 11, 2024
Whole Foods Market is getting ready to debut a quick-shop store format for urban neighborhoods that provides easier access and a fast convenient shopping experience.
The format, called Whole Foods Market Daily Shop, will launch this year in the Upper East Side of Manhattan in New York, according to a press release.
Ranging between 7,000 to 14,000 square feet, the quick-shop stores are about a quarter to half the footprint of an average 40,000 square foot Whole Foods Market store.
In addition, the location that is expected to open this year will be the first Whole Foods Market store in Manhattan to offer Juice & Java, a venue for coffee, tea, fresh pressed juices, smoothies, sandwiches, soups and various desserts.
"At our new store formats, we're tailoring every square foot to the unique, fast-paced needs of urban lifestyles. We're excited to introduce a new way for our customers to quickly pick up their Whole Foods Market favorites — from grab-and-go meals to that last-minute dinner ingredient — making the early morning or after work grocery trips more efficient and enjoyable," Christina Minardi, executive vice president growth and development, Whole Foods Market and Amazon, said in the release. "Expanding our footprint with Whole Foods Market Daily Shop is key to our growth, fostering deeper customer connections, and advancing our purpose to nourish people and the planet."
