Whole Foods

Has anyone been yet? Is it awesome?

Re: Whole Foods

  • I'm waiting at least a month to go to the OKC one to try to avoid crowds, but in general having shopped there a lot, I'm a big fan! I love the meat/seafood counter, the cheese selection (though I think Forward Foods might have them beat!), the butter selection, the egg section, and the produce. There are lots of yummy frozen and prepared things, but they're generally more than I want to spend.

    I'm excited that Edmond is getting a Sunflower Market!

    Still, I'm holding out hope that we eventually get a Trader Joes!

  • One of my coworkers and I went on opening day. Not the best idea but we wanted to go so bad. It was so crowded but lucked out getting a parking spot. It is really nice! I have a feeling I might be going there once a week for lunch. I would wait for it to die down for a while before I would go though.

  • I definitely plan to go for lunch a few times here and there - their salad bar is ahhh-mazing!!  I love Whole Foods - although I won't buy all of my groceries there, it is a great place to get meat and cheese.  And doggie food!

    I'm so glad you mentioned the salad bar! I was wanting a salad last night at work but wasn't sure how it was. Good to know!

    Their pizza is pretty awesome too!

  • I've been (to the new one and elsewhere) and I love it. I didn't think it was too insanely crowded. I am not holding my breath for Trader Joes since wine can't be sold in grocery stores here and that's a large part of their market share in other states. Stupid blue laws.
  • Haven't been to the new one yet - thinking about going this weekend when I get back from my conference. I did go to one in Allen last weekend [and have shopped there before], and I love it. I'm so glad we have one here - I get a lot of my fruit and my favorite facial scrub from there, so it's nice to have one here instead of having to drive to Dallas.

    I hate that law! World Market is one of my favorite stores but same deal. They sell wine so they can't come to Oklahoma.

    I know! I wish they would lift it so a Central Market would be able to come to OKC. I don't know if they would try to go out of Texas, but I really wish they would.

  • Have you guys seen the picketers at the Sunflower Market on May? From what I can tell, they're upset that SM doesn't sell Oklahoma products. I haven't been in, and I haven't really researched it; just wondering if any of you have heard the full story.

    I'm SO SAD that I no longer work a few blocks from the new Whole Foods. :( Downtown sucks. I still live close to WF, though, so I'll be checking it out soon.

    Hold on here - a big share of Whole Food's profits come from the sale of alcohol - wine and beer are sold in all WF other than the one's in OK (there has to be a separate building).  There ARE ways to get around the "blue laws" but Trader Joe's refuses to do that.  So, not a blue law issue, its a Trader Joe's issue.  ((As an FYI, I also think the blue laws are totally stupid))

  • I went to WF on Saturday. OMG it was nuts. Of course it was amazing, but I've been in many a WF store, so I knew what to expect.

    I do not plan on going again for a month or so, in the hopes the crowds will die down.
