I love Whole Foods I’m general as a company. I like the selection of healthy foods, which includes lots of organic options, as well as vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free options. I also have always liked the prepared foods, hot bar, salad bar, sushi, and pizza. I was also thrilled to see that they now have a water refilling station, so you can refill large containers. I love that Whole Foods had a policy of not selling products that have certain unhealthy ingredients in them. I have compared the products at Whole Foods to brands sold at other supermarkets and the difference is astounding.
However, this particular Whole Foods location could improve in a couple of areas. The first thing is that I wish they would open at 7am instead of 8am. I would love to go there before work to grab breakfast and coffee, but I have to be at work by 8am. The second thing is that the coffee bar has limited hours and is understaffed. Lastly, the tables at the front where you can sit to eat are consistently dirty. There are pieces of food, crumbs, etc on almost all of them at any given time. I think one reason is because the color of the wood makes the crumbs difficult to see from far away, so perhaps employees don’t realize it’s dirty. But I was under the impression that someone (like the cashiers at the front) were in charge of cleaning them hourly, and clearly that is not being done.
Other than those things, the store is a typical Whole Foods and excellent in all the ways that While Foods is typically excellent.
