Whole Foods Market is opening its first smaller format store, called Whole Foods Market Daily Shop, this week in New York City's Lenox Hill neighborhood.

The store is 9,101-square feet and offers grab-and-go meals and weekly essentials, according to a press release. Whole Foods Market announced the new store format in March.

The footprint of an average Whole Foods Market location is 40,000 square feet.

The first 300 customers in line on opening morning, on Sept. 18, will receive a limited-edition tote bag, complimentary cold brew coffee from Nguyen Coffee Supply and muffins from Abe's.

The grocery chain, owned by Amazon, is planning to open another Whole Foods Market Daily Shop location in the East Village's StuyTown development.

Whole Foods Market serves customers in more than 530 stores across the U.S., Canada and the U.K.
