Whole Foods to IC?
The word on the street is that Whole Foods is coming to our fair city on the river. Maybe it’s true and maybe it’s not. But it’s interesting to think about the possibilities. Of course, the first reaction of an community minded person here is “What will happen to NewPi?” That is, the New Pioneer Co-op, the local dominator of the organic foods market. They’ve got their busy Iowa City store of course, and the multi-million dollar Coralville satellite store. There’s an interesting article about Whole Foods in Fast Company here. At any rate, the word is that the Whole Foods store will be in that dual residential tower they’re building downtown, thanks to the moen group. Looks like the units are basically sold out already in the building except for one 1,700 sq ft unit going for $575K, which is high for this area. At any rate, I’m a member of New Pioneer and plan to keep it that way. Keep my food local. Keep my dollars local.
