Whole Foods Creeping Uptown?

On October 17, 2006 by D. Bell

mill-valley.jpgWith two three locations in Manhattan and reportedly two more being built downtown, Whole Foods has yet to open a location above 59th Street. Well, that day may soon be coming to end. Crain’s reports that Whole Foods has been eyeing a location on Columbus Avenue, formerly known as Park West Village, between West 97 and West 100th Streets.

The grocer is considering the property but has not yet signed a lease.

The 808 Columbus site will have 220,000 square feet of retail space, including 90,000 square feet underground, when it opens in late 2008.

Editor’s note: The information in the Crain’s article was apparently outdated concerning the number of locations in Manhattan. Check the website for store locations.
