What Is Whole Foods Market?
Whole Foods Market is a supermarket chain that specializes in selling natural and organic products, while promoting sustainable production practices. The company has established its own quality criteria, which are applied to all products offered by its suppliers.
The history of Whole Foods began in Austin, Texas, in 1978 thanks to the vision of its founders, Mackey and Renee Lawson. The first store opened its doors two years later, in a context where natural food supermarkets were scarce in the United States.
In 1984, the company began its expansion outside of Austin and continued to grow non-stop. In 1992, Whole Foods went public with an initial public offering (IPO) priced at $2.13 per share. As it opened new stores, it also accelerated its growth through the acquisition of several natural food chains during the 1990s, including Wellspring Grocery in North Carolina, Bread & Circus in Massachusetts, Mrs. Gooch’s Natural Foods Markets in Los Angeles, Bread of Life in Northern California, Fresh Fields Markets on the East Coast and Midwest, as well as other locations in Florida, Detroit, and Boston.
In 2005, Whole Foods opened its 7,400 m² flagship store in the heart of Austin, moving its headquarters to offices located on the top floor of the establishment.
In June 2017, Amazon acquired Whole Foods Market for the impressive sum of $13.7 billion, with the intention of allowing Whole Foods customers who are also Amazon Prime members to place orders online and pick them up in-store at no additional cost.
How Many Stores Does Whole Foods Market Have?
Currently, the supermarket chain has more than 500 branches distributed throughout the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom.
