NEW YORK — Want to experience Whole Foods in a more intimate setting? This will soon be a reality in New York City.
The beloved American grocer announced Monday that it is bringing a new store format, Whole Foods Market Daily Shop, to New York City to make shopping more convenient for urban consumers. The first location is expected to open on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, at 1175 Third Avenue, sometime this year.
That initial location will also be the first Whole Foods store in Manhattan to offer Juice & Java, a place to grab coffee, tea, freshly squeezed juices, smoothies, sandwiches, soups and various desserts.
Additional Whole Foods Market Daily Shop locations will follow throughout New York City. After launching in the Big Apple, Whole Foods plans to bring its daily market format to other cities across the country.
Ranging from 7,000 to 14,000 square feet, the convenience stores are one-quarter to half the size of an average 40,000-square-foot Whole Foods Market store, paving the way for expansion in dense metropolitan areas. In bustling centers like Manhattan, where proximity matters, these stores will bring Whole Foods Market closer to existing customers, while also extending the company’s reach to others in surrounding neighborhoods, the grocer says.
Whole Foods Market Daily Shop will provide a convenient option for grab-and-go meals and snacks, weekly essentials and a quick and easy destination to pick up ingredients to complete a meal. Although smaller, the stores will continue to offer Whole Foods Market favorites, including a wide selection of fresh seasonal produce, meats and seafood, sandwiches and pre-packaged meals, breads, alcohol and supplements, and a carefully curated variety of local specialties.
“In our new store formats, we are adapting every square meter to the unique and fast-paced needs of urban lifestyles. We’re excited to introduce a new way for our customers to quickly choose their Whole Foods Market favorites, from grab-and-go meals to that last-minute ingredient for dinner, making early-morning or after-work trips to the grocery store more efficient. and pleasant. ”said Christina Minardi, executive vice president of Growth and Development, Whole Foods Market and Amazon. “Expanding our presence with Whole Foods Market Daily Shop is key to our growth, fostering deeper connections with customers and furthering our purpose of nourishing people and the planet.”
The new format stores are additional and do not replace the traditional supermarket.
In 2023, Whole Foods Market added its 17th New York City store at One Wall Street, underscoring the company’s dedication to enhancing the urban customer experience and expanding its urban real estate footprint. Whole Foods Market currently has more than 530 stores in the US, UK and Canada, with more than 75 stores in the pipeline.
