Will New Whole Foods Become Your Go-To Grocery Store?

The gourmet supermarket opened this month in Yonkers' newly-constructed Ridge Hill Shopping Center.

With the new Whole Foods Market that opened this month in Yonkers' Ridge Hill Shopping Center, there is now a gourmet grocery store within minutes of Port Chester. 

Whole Foods—while pricy—boasts fresh, organic produce, fish, meats, poultry, prepared meals and a salad bar. There is a section of nuts, granola, grains and beans, a coffee/gelato bar and a bakery. There's even a section for gluten-free baking ingredients.

Will this new Whole Foods become your go-to grocery store for household staples, a place to stock up for holidays and special occations—or will you hardly ever shop there? Do you think this will be another big business that hurts smaller, local stores?
