Introduction

I write extensively about the Amazon-owned Whole Foods grocery chain. In that spirit, now comes word that several new small format company locations will soon be coming to New York City, including those announced this week in Hell’s Kitchen and the Upper East Side.

Addresses have yet to be released.

Let us explore.

Whole Foods, 2024

According to a July 16th report from SupermarketNews.com, the new locations will tentatively open throughout New York City.

From the report: The retailer, owned by ecommerce giant Amazon, said earlier this year that it would open the first Whole Foods Market Daily shop this fall on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. “There are currently five leases for New York City, including the Hell’s Kitchen and Upper East Side locations, and we plan to announce another soon,” a spokesperson for Whole Foods told Supermarket News.

For a company perspective, per ScrapeHero.com's most recently updated full-sized store location count, as opposed to the smaller Whole Foods Market Daily shops: There are 517 Whole Foods Market stores in the United States as of June 20, 2024. The state and territory with the most number of Whole Foods Market locations in the US is California, with 95 stores, which is about 18% of all Whole Foods Market stores in the US.

Conclusion

The national rollout of the smaller-format Whole Foods locations is a developing story. In the event of pertinent updates to this matter, I will share them here on NewsBreak.
