New Tri-Valley Whole Foods to Hold Summer Social This Saturday

They’re still putting the finishing touches on the Whole Foods Market in Dublin, located in the new Persimmon Place complex at Dublin Boulevard and Hacienda Drive. Opening day is in two weeks--May 20.

This Saturday they’ll hold a Summer Social form 11 - 3. The free event will feature live music, local food vendors and kids games.

Sounds fun, but they’re pulling out all stops for the Grand Opening. According to Whole Foods, on opening day, from 7 to 10 a.m., the Allegro Coffee Roasters truck will offer free coffee. Opening festivities will start at 9:45 a.m., with a community welcome and a bread-breaking ceremony; the doors open at 10. Throughout the day various samples—including grilled meats, halibut and Juice Beauty skin care products—will be available. Shoppers can also sip wines presented by the Livermore Valley Wine Organization.

Get this--the store includes Dublin Vine, a wine tasting and tap room with three wines and 12 beers on tap, plus more than 50 wines by the glass. The indoor bar area accommodates 64 guests, and outside there is space for 100. The outdoor patio has a fire pit and open space for performances. The store expects to host local live music, presentations and family activities.

If you love good food but don’t always have the time or energy to cook, the store will have a huge prepared foods section including a pizza venue, noodle bar, BBQ bar, the typical grab-and-go fare, and a bakery.

Electric car? There are four charging stations.

Once again, opening day is Wednesday, May 20.
