Having taken the US by storm, organic and local-loving Whole Foods Market today (6 June 07) opened the doors to its first ever UK store in Kensington.
Newconsumer.tv went along to see what all the fuss is about, and discover whether Whole Foods lived up to its promise to source local.
Clarification two things raised in the video: the size of the store is 80,000 square feet and the number of staff is 550.
Very fine video. Whole Foods is my favorite store ever, of any type of store. I began shopping at it, in 1992 and use the Bellevue store mainly. We will be living in London, for part of each year and naturally, will shop only at Whole Foods. Also, can someone say how Londoners view Whole Foods? I understand that, in London, you use mostly UK and European brands, which will be fun to try. Thank you to John Mackey, with all of my heart. It is better than Disneyland,

@hydrobot2003 and why? because a 14-year-old "customer" grabbed a microphone and made a racist message? That could have happened in any other store...

Whole foods is a racist store and I will never give them my money. They hate minorities, trust me. Overpriced and not real friendly at all. Listen to me now or pay later... Tell everyone to not shop there they will get you believe me! Don't say I warned you. "F" WholeFoods! Not worth it!

nice vid. not a whole lot of footage about Whole Foods out there. I'm a fan of the store just not the prices. Guess its the price you gotta pay for convenient healthfood. I just wonder if their standards on "organic" are reasonable. Hate to see a segment on them in a few years.
