Hundreds pack into new Whole Foods store

By John Wolcott SCBJ Freelance Writer

LYNNWOOD Whole Foods Market opened its first Snohomish County store in Lynnwood on March 15 with a bread-breaking ceremony that symbolized the store's focus on breaking bread with the community, said the store's team leader, Mindy Jahn. We've had a wonderful welcome here.

Nearly 300 people showed up for the opening. Dignitaries who helped break that loaf of bread included Jahn, Whole Foods Market regional vice president Tee Ayer, regional president Joe Rogoff, Lynnwood Mayor Don Gough and Shannon Affholter of Economic Alliance Snohomish County.

Founded in Austin, Texas, in 1980, Whole Foods Market has 315 stores in North America and the United Kingdom with 64,000 employees, or team members as they're called by the chain. Fortune magazine has named the business one of the 100 Best Companies to Work For in America for 14 consecutive years.

Whole Foods Market is the nation's leading retailer of natural and organic food and the first nationally certified organic grocer. Health Magazine has named it America's healthiest grocery store. Its motto, Whole Foods, Whole People, Whole Planet, reflects its mission and goals of ensuring customer satisfaction and good health.

Customer comments have been wonderful, Jahn said. We've also had suggestions about how to improve, which is how we operate, seeking customer feedback. Right now, we're still experiencing the early crowds of a lot of smiling people who are glad we're here. In a while, we'll be settled into a more regular operation. We've been so busy since the opening that we've set up a valet service for customers to help handle the crowds.

Jahn said the store's location at 2800 196th St. SW, a former Circuit City store near Alderwood mall, is a perfect location.

We were attracted to Lynnwood by its location, near the intersection of I-5 and I-405, but also by the way Mayor Don Gough and people at Economic Alliance Snohomish County wanted us here and helped us so much, she said.

Whole Foods Market seeks out the finest quality natural and organic foods that meet the highest standards in the grocery industry, store executives said. That means marketing nutritious foods that lack artificial additives, sweeteners, colorings and preservatives.
