Woodbury's Whole Foods Market Set To Open In May

WOODBURY, MN — Whole Foods Market opens its new 45,000 square foot store, located at 305 Radio Drive in Woodbury, Wednesday, May 24, 2017. The much-anticipated store will provide residents in and around Woodbury with fresh, high quality foods in a convenient and contemporary setting.

To celebrate opening day, Whole Foods Market will host its version of a ribbon cutting called a “Bread-Breaking Ceremony” with Whole Foods Market Team Members and Woodbury neighbors beginning at 8:45 a.m. Doors open and shopping officially begins at 9 a.m.

The first 500 customers through the doors will receive a Whole Foods Market Gift Card with a mystery value between $5 and $50. One customer will receive a $500 gift card, according to a news release.

“At Whole Foods Market, we have a deep passion for fresh, flavorful, natural and organic foods. We are thrilled to open a store for the Woodbury neighborhood and surrounding communities,” Lorne Petkau, Store Team Leader, Whole Foods Market Woodbury, said in a statement. “From hard-to-find ingredients to high-quality meats and poultry to everyday pantry staples, residents from the health conscious to devoted food enthusiasts will find what they’re looking for.”

For those interested in being more than a shopper, Whole Foods Market Woodbury is looking to hire 100 new part-time and full-time employees. All experienced levels are needed to fill positions in Customer Service, Prepared Foods, Meat, Seafood, Produce, Bakery, Grocery, Whole Body and Beer, Wine and Cheese departments. Interested applicants should submit their resume here.

“Whole Foods Market is more than a grocery store. It is a driving force that is changing the way people think about what ingredients are in their food and where their food comes from,” Petkau added. “We strongly believe that food in its purest state – free of artificial flavors, sweeteners, preservatives, colorings and trans fat – is the best tasting and most nutritious food available. The spirit and principles that first drove people to shop a tiny natural and organic foods store still apply today.”

Whole Foods Market currently has six additional locations in Minnesota including Minnetonka at 1001 Plymouth Rd.; Edina at 7401 France Ave. S.; Maple Grove at 12201 Elm Creek Blvd. N.; St. Paul at 1575 Selby Ave.; and two locations in Minneapolis at 3060 Excelsior Blvd and 222 Hennepin Ave.
