WHOLE FOODS - Opening in Kennesaw in October 2017

KENNESAW WHOLE FOODS TO OPEN IN OCTOBER 2017

Whole Foods has opened a few stores, closed a few stores and put off indefinitely plans for many other stores due to serious financial issues.

The Kennesaw Marketplace Mall (Fuqua, Inc) had listed Whole Foods as an anchor tenant for at least 2 years.

It has been questionable recently if the WF difficulties were going to impact their move to Kennesaw. Inquiries to their Southern Region resulted in generalized boilerplate replies but no definitive comments.

It has been reported that their Marietta location was to be closed and moved to the Kennesaw location. (Cobb Harry's, 70 Powers Ferry Rd SE, Marietta, GA 30067).

As of today the cat may be finally out of the bag, or at least it has a couple of paws out of the bag. WF is now quietly announcing that it will open that location ‘in the Fall of 2017'. Inquires on the site indicate that the opening will be in October 2017.

Considerable work is required on the interior. For reasons still to be determined the shell of the building went up before the electrical and plumbing work was put in and this has resulted in considerable trenching being done to run lines.

Normal construction protocol is that this is done first, then the concrete flooring is put in and last the building shell is put in place. With this location the cart is before the horse and inquiries do not reveal a reason for this, except to acknowledge that this is not standard procedure for such construction. No comment was available on why this is being done backwards.

So perhaps in October there will be a Whole Foods up and running.
