 Alert | I just posted on the "fresh and easy thread". While I am happy we will have some type of health market here, I still feel Whole Foods is far superior and when I visited the fresh and easy in Chandler, there were lots of stuff I could not get there that I can get in whole foods. yes, whole foods, like AJ's and some other health food markets are more pricy, but what you get is fresh food and not packaged and a whole bunch more variety. We will need a larger population I bring in a whole foods and certainly interest in having one here but I for one would LOVE a whole foods market here.
Anyone else agree?? | | | |

Alert | | I agree with you. I'd love to see a Whole Foods here in Maricopa. I'd shop there several times a week if we had one here. I love the new one on Ray & the 101. Have you been there yet? It seems to have everything including places to sit & eat. | | | |

Alert | | Maricopa does not have the demographic now to support an AJ's or a Whole Foods. Cheap housing=lower income levels. Hopefully when our transportation needs are met and our home values go up, that willl change. | | | |

Alert | Yes, I agree we don't have the demographics yet. I am hoping we will in the future!
Yes, I have been to the whole foods on ray and price... I was like a kid in a candy store.. it is like a natural foods supermall! Asian station, tapas bar, meditterean station, italian, chocolate and truffle station, sushi, etc... unbelieveable. Even my husband was blown away. I went to the largest whole foods in NYC and that didn't even compare to this one. Yes, you do pay the price for whole foods and for AJs for that matter but you get really high quality food that is not prepared and oh what fun for health food nuts like myself!<img src='http://www.85239.com/desktopmodules/ntforums/images/emoticons/smile.gif' height='20' width='20' border='0' title='Smile' align='absmiddle'> | | | |

Alert | | more chance of a sprouts or trader joes coming than a whole foods... they have a place on their website to suggest new store locations but with fresh and easy coming, it might be difficult to get those stores in because they are more similar than like a whole foods or AJ;'s for example, although they are much better than fresh and easy in my opinion. | | | |

Alert | If there was a sprouts or whole foods or trader joes, I would do the majority if not all of my shopping there.
I know that it will be quite some time, if at all, before those places come out here, so I won't hold my breath.

Alert | Hello Music Addict
thsprouts is not similar to trader joes. Trader Joes is an organic market and sprouts is a farmer's market. The prices on produce are way different. I think sprouts is a good idea. I do 100% of my shopping in Sprouts | | | |

I just re-read my post..I say that Maricopa does'nt have the desired income levels to support a Whole Foods. I never call Maricopa "low income", as your rant says above. If it did they along with others would be banging down the doors to get here. They're not. I read another article that called Maricopa a bust town. I'd love to have a Whole Foods here, believe me. It won't happen for a while, if ever. | | | |

OK, it has our HHI income levels at around $73,691, with the median at $75,000. Still not that high, but we do match up well with surrounding communities, so I stand corrected. | | | |

Alert | | There are whole foods markets in areas with very similiar income levels and demographics but lack of populaton is what is going to prevent a whole foods from coming in, also proximity to the highway is a criteria for whole foods, so we're not in the running there either. ;( One can only dream. | | | |

If there were a Trader Joe's in the 'Copa, my life would be complete!!! Okay, that's a bit of an exaggeration, but I would love to have one here. Bring on the organic produce and the "two buck Chuck"! <img src='http://www.85239.com/desktopmodules/ntforums/images/emoticons/wink.gif' height='20' width='20' border='0' title='Wink' align='absmiddle'>
