I don't know..it is a Texas company..that could be an issue. Being from Texas, I love it!

it's also a very liberal corporation who make big donations to lib causes,
it will be an issue for some (Poppy) who despise Texas, but of course they
probably shoplift anyway because capitalism is for the evil rich

They don't carry enough GMOs for my taste.

I don't even have to grind the organ for the monkey to dance with his cup.

We heard a couple of months ago from an employee at The Fresh Market that Whole Foods was coming. We searched and searched for information to no avail. Guess the competition knows what is really going on. We are excited because when we do steaks, which is not that often, Whole Foods is superior in taste and quality. Let's see if they can keep up their reputation in Destin. The Whole Foods in Tallahassee does not impress. But then the Atlanta Whole Foods can't shake a stick at the Austin flagship...so everything is relative.

Haven't heard when the opening date is this spring. Will check with Destin Commons and see what's up as people are asking. And I wanna know too!

Birmingham Whole Foods is awesome. Lots of fresh seafood, can't be any more expensive than our fish mongers on 30A.....
