What can you expect from the new whole foods locations?
If you have ever shopped at Whole Foods before, you already know it is not your typical grocery store. Each new location opening in 2025 is designed to bring a curated selection of organic produce, sustainable seafood, and clean-label products to local communities.
You will find the same high quality standards the brand is known for—no hydrogenated fats, no high-fructose corn syrup, and no artificial colors, sweeteners, or more than 300 banned ingredients in their food products.
And it is not just the food. Whole Foods also keeps things clean and natural in their beauty and body care sections. All products sold in-store must be free of phthalates, microbeads, and parabens—so you can shop with peace of mind.
Why is whole foods opening more stores now?
As consumer demand for healthier, more transparent food choices keeps rising, Whole Foods is staying ahead of the curve. The chain, founded back in 1980 in Austin, Texas, has always positioned itself as a pioneer in organic and sustainable shopping.
Now with more than 535 stores across the U.S., Canada, and the U.K., Whole Foods is on a mission to make natural and organic food accessible to even more people.
Opening new stores also allows the company to strengthen its relationship with communities that are increasingly looking for local, responsibly sourced options. And yes—many of the new stores also come equipped with Amazon integration, since Whole Foods has been a part of the Amazon family since 2017.
Will these stores offer Amazon benefits?
Yes, they will. If you are an Amazon Prime member, you already know that shopping at Whole Foods comes with perks like exclusive savings and extra discounts. You can expect the same benefits at the new locations.
Most new stores will be fully integrated with Amazon services, which means things like in-store pickup for Prime orders, Amazon lockers, and easy scan-and-go checkout options might be available, depending on the location.
How can you find out if a whole foods is opening near you?
Your best bet is to keep an eye on the Whole Foods store locator on their official website. You can also check their press release page for updates and opening dates. If your city is on the list, you will likely see job postings or local event announcements pop up soon.
