Public Invited to Tour of New Weymouth Whole Foods

Whole Foods Market will open in South Weymouth next month and the store is currently offering residents a sneak peek of the store.

Anyone who wishes to take a look at the store before it opens on July 10, can take a tour on Monday by registering on the company’s website.

“These guided tours will take place every 12 minutes with a suggested donation of $5 per guest to benefit The Weymouth Food Pantry,” their website stated.

The natural and organic supermarket will open at 35 Pleasant on Wednesday, July 10 at 10 a.m. following their company’s traditional bread-breaking ceremony at 9:45 a.m.

The store will include unique features including a coffee and smoothie bar with seating, a pizza oven with a direct take-out phone line, and an artisanal cheese room, according to company spokeswoman Heather W. McCready.

The 40,000 square foot store will bring more jobs to Weymouth.  The new company is expected to employ approximately 140 full and part time team members, according to McCready.  Their Facebook Page stated that all jobs have been full.

The South Weymouth location will be the grocery store’s 23rd location in Massachusetts and second on the South Shore, with the other being at Hingham's Derby Street Shoppes.

Whole Foods Weymouth will be open 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. seven days a week.

The public is welcome to attend the bread breaking ceremony.
