Whole Foods on North Ave

The parking lot for this Whole Foods location (which is the closest to us, unless you count the mini-store on Huron, or the soon-to-be-store on Roosevelt, not scheduled to open until 2007) frequently gets super crowded. I welcome a move to better digs. I haven't yet been to the new (there was a recently built flagship store on Lamar and 6th, but I guess it wasn't swanky enough, and has been replaced) flagship store in Austin as I skipped going home for the holidays this year (work overload).

Bigger Whole Foods near North-ClybournWhole Foods plans to open what could be one of its biggest stores in the U.S. in the shopping district at North and Clybourn avenues, people familiar with the situation say. The Texas-based grocer has been negotiating with owners of two properties on the west side of Kingsbury Street just south of North Avenue, where it would build an 80,000-square-foot store, roughly the same size as its Austin, Texas, flagship. “We're always looking for quality locations,” a Whole Foods spokesman says, declining to confirm plans for the site.

I feel a certain kinship with Whole Foods as we both arrived in Austin in the same year (1982).
