I know there has been lots of talk in the past about Whole Foods in The Woodlands. According to their requirements, I wonder if that location would be a fit for them? Especially the 'excellent visibility' one. Does anyone know of a location near Market Street that would meet their criteria? I would like to suggest a location to them if there is one.

Real Estate Development | WholeFoodsMarket.com

200,000 people or more in a 20-minute drive time
25,000-50,000 Square Feet
Large number of college-educated residents
Abundant parking available for our exclusive use
Stand alone preferred, would consider complementary
Easy access from roadways, lighted intersection
Excellent visibility, directly off of the street
Must be located in a high traffic area (foot and/or vehicle)

A perfect location would be in the Randalls (Grogan's Mill), if Safeway decides to abandon this, or on Research Forest around the hospital area. It will not happen because there are so many choices for grocery shopping that WF profit margin won't that high. I am surprised that they haven't opened in The Woodlands, they will be getting willing customers instead of ad-directed customers.

I would love to have one here however they chose a location elsewhere. It will be about 15 miles from here. I doubt they will build another one out here.

Very true. I would figure that would be a ideal location for the WholeFoods. I mean Trader Joes is there. Hope the plans fall in to play. (Its in the Woodlands..more than likely this will happen.)

I could happen I'm sure. But keep in mind that Whole Foods is probably the most picky company when it comes to location selection.
