Whole Foods Market — Continuing To Revolutionize The Grocery Shopping Experience

Tustin, CA - Whole Foods Market , the leading natural and organic foods supermarket and the nation's first certified organic grocer is relocating its current Tustin store on Holt Avenue to the highly anticipated 60,000 square foot location at The District at Tustin Legacy, opening in late August.

The new and innovative location will offer a fresh and distinctive approach, melding the grocery shopping and dining experience ingeniously together. The concept combines in-store dining with a supermarket by adding unique features such as a Tea Bar, Smokehouse and Seafood Grill, a Taqueria and Churrascharia and Asian eateries with a local and seasonal menu.

"In relocating our Tustin store to this new site, we'll be able to offer a culinary experience yet to be seen in Orange County," said Marci Frumkin, Regional Marketing Coordinator, Whole Foods Market. "While we love our current location, we have outgrown it and are excited about everything that we'll be able to add to our customer's shopping experience by expanding! Besides being your local produce stand, butcher shop, fish market and florist, we are combining the concept of a healthy, organic eatery and supermarket. It's a whole new way to look at the grocery shopping experience."

Since its opening in 1980, Whole Foods Market has helped transform the way Americans eat and think about food. "We want our shoppers to celebrate the joys of eating and living well. We hope Whole Foods Market will continue to prompt change in the way people think about and shop for food" said John Mackey, Whole Foods Market CEO and co-founder.
