After three years of anticipation, St. Petersburg is gearing up to welcome its first and only Whole Foods Market, marking a significant milestone for the city’s culinary landscape. With its grand opening scheduled for February 28th at 201 38th Avenue North, the Austin, Texas-based specialty grocery store chain offered St. Pete Rising an exclusive sneak peek into the 41,100-square-foot store ahead of its highly anticipated debut.
Local flavor takes center stage at the St. Pete Whole Foods Market, with over 800 locally sourced products from the Southeast region adorning its shelves. Curated in collaboration with Dustin Kennedy, Whole Foods Market’s local forager, the store’s product assortment showcases the diverse culinary offerings of the area, celebrating the vibrant community of suppliers and producers.
Among the local and regional suppliers featured are household names like Mother Kombucha, Greg Abrams Seafood, and Lady Moon Farms, alongside artisanal favorites such as Green Bench Brewing Co., Gelato Fino, and Norman Love Confections. From fresh seafood and organic produce to craft beverages and gourmet treats, the St. Pete Whole Foods Market promises to be a treasure trove of culinary delights for residents and visitors alike.
The journey to the grand opening of St. Pete’s Whole Foods Market has been years in the making, with the company first announcing its plans for a new store in March 2021. However, the official opening date remained a mystery until late January, heightening excitement and anticipation among eager shoppers.
To celebrate the occasion, the Whole Foods Market team has planned a special treat for opening day attendees. Shoppers will be treated to complimentary coffee and breakfast bites, while the first 300 customers in line will receive a limited-edition tote bag and a Secret Saver coupon featuring offers of up to $100 off.
With existing locations in Tampa, Clearwater, and across several other Florida metro areas, Whole Foods Market has established itself as a beloved destination for quality groceries and gourmet finds. Now, as it makes its debut in St. Petersburg, the city eagerly awaits the opportunity to experience the unique offerings and exceptional service that Whole Foods Market is renowned for.
