USA | Whole Foods Market opened a new 46,500-square-foot store located in the Summerlin community of Las Vegas.
The new Summerlin location replaced the longstanding Fort Apache store, which has been part of the community for nearly 22 years. The new location’s product assortment features more than 100 local items from Nevada, each meeting Whole Foods Market’s rigorous quality standards.
“I started my Whole Foods Market career helping open the Fort Apache store back in 2003 – since then, this area has grown tremendously, and we’re excited to bring a brand new, larger location to the community,” said Ruben Nuno, Store Team Leader for Whole Foods Market Summerlin.
“With an upgraded coffee and juice bar, new prepared foods venues and an expanded indoor and outdoor cafe seating area, we are thrilled to welcome customers into this new store, while offering the same expertise and service we’ve proudly delivered for the past two decades.”
Opening morning, customers were treated to complimentary coffee from Dark Moon Coffee Roasters and snacks from Sweetpotato Awesome. The first 300 shoppers in line were given a limited-edition tote bag and a Secret Saver coupon, featuring offers of up to USD 100.
Additionally, on opening morning, Whole Foods Market celebrated the donation of an all-electric refrigerated van to Celestial Manna with a food donation. The van will support Celestial Manna’s regular surplus food pickups from local Whole Foods Market stores, helping prevent food waste and serving the surrounding community.
Both donations are part of Whole Foods Market’s Nourishing Our Neighbourhoods program, which enhances local food rescue organisations’ ability to transport surplus food to areas of greatest need.
