Whole Foods to Bring 365 Concept to More Communities

AUSTIN, Texas — Whole Foods Market has signed leases for its 365 by Whole Foods Market concept in Redlands and South Lake Tahoe, Calif., and Fairfax, Va.

The Fairfax store will be the concept's first Virginia location. In California, the chain opened a 365 store in the Silver Lake neighborhood of Los Angeles in May, and it has planned locations in Concord, Claremont and Los Alamitos.

Nineteen store leases are currently in development.

"We're excited to bring our 365 by Whole Foods Market stores to more communities," said Jeff Turnas, president of 365 by Whole Foods Market. "Shoppers continue to look for convenient, high-quality grocery shopping experiences and we think that shoppers across the country will love this new store format."

365 by Whole Foods Market is designed to provide a streamlined, quality-meets-value shopping experience. The stores feature a curated mix of products that adhere to the standards of Whole Food Market in an environment that is enjoyable and convenient for shoppers, the company said.
