DallasNews.com: Lakewood Minyard to be Whole Foods
Whole Foods is moving into Lakewood, and Minyard is moving out.
Whole Foods Market Inc. will announce today that it has bought the Lakewood Minyard Food Store and will tear it down to make way for a 50,000-square-foot Whole Foods. The new store will replace the chain’s original Dallas location on Lower Greenville Avenue.
I wonder if Whole Foods will put a spa in the new Lakewood store?
DallasNews.com: Grocers hope to pass taste tests
Two of the most closely watched U.S. specialty food chains – both with roots deep in the heart of Texas – are putting their faith in Dallas-area residents to help them define their next steps in food retailing.
Competitors known for their innovations, Whole Foods Market Inc. and H.E. Butt Grocery Co.’s Central Market swear it’s just a coincidence that they’re each opening their chain’s next-generation stores in D-FW today. In Southlake, shoppers will help Central Market decide if it’s landed on the right suburban concept to make the leap outside of Texas.
In Dallas, the new Whole Foods at Preston Road and Forest Lane will help the Austin-based chain decide if it’s going to become a major spa operator.
It is very interesting to watch the grocery business go increasingly upscale as the battle the Wal-Mart juggernaut.
