About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver arrived early with an unusual load—boxes wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. As he unloaded them into the backroom, other employees noticed strange symbols scribbled on each box. Curious, one of the employees opened a box and found… nothing but air inside! It turned out that someone had accidentally packed empty boxes instead of groceries. For weeks after that, whenever anyone saw a delivery truck arriving early, they’d whisper, ‘It’s Whole Foods’ secret air shipment!’ The whole thing became something of a neighborhood joke.
2. In the Whole Foods aisles, a curious habit had developed among shoppers. Every Tuesday afternoon, someone would leave a small note on the organic chocolate display: ‘Only if you believe.’ No one knew who started it or why, but soon everyone was checking the notes before buying their treats. One day, a delivery driver left a note that read: ‘Organic only if you deliver on time!’ Soon after, customers began leaving notes like: ‘Fair trade when you’re fair with others,’ and ‘Gluten-free if you listen to your gut.’ The manager finally posted a sign: “All notes must be PG-rated or risk being recycled.” But no one ever did.
3. At closing time one night, a Whole Foods employee overheard a neighbor muttering under their breath: ‘Finally, someone who knows what kale tastes like.’ Curious, the worker followed the voice outside and found an elderly neighbor standing in front of the herb section. The neighbor picked up some parsley and said with a smile, 'And finally, someone who knows how to grow a proper garden!'
4. Late one night, as a cashier was ringing up groceries, she heard a soft humming coming from behind the produce section. Curious, she looked around but saw nothing out of place. Suddenly, an old lady in a flowery hat appeared and started singing along. The cashier smiled, thinking maybe it was just an eccentric customer. When they finished, the woman whispered, ‘Thank you for your patience, dear. This is my daily routine.’ Turns out, Whole Foods had hired her as a volunteer singer to keep customers relaxed after hours.
