Awesome place to grocery shop or if your right now there's a ton of already cooked meals depending on what you want.

Above my price level for regular grocery shopping. Clean, fresh items. Counter overs/pre-made item had 5 to 10 minute wait. Staff friendly and helpful.

Not busy… nice, clean and open.

This place is huge, and has many fancy offerings. I don't shop here often, and really only come for the Amazon hub counter to pick up an occasional package.

I love going to Whole Foods and always spend more than expected lol

This place is a really frustrating mixed bag: service is either really great or absolutely dreadful. There is little to no middle ground. On the one hand, there are great employees who work the floor and are very informative, but on the other hand, there are routinely cashiers who view their job as a social call where they can catch up on what seems like a year's worth of gossip with other employees and customers. Meanwhile, the lines get ridiculously long as they obliviously chatter on and your schedule is held hostage.

Easy fix for your checkout line please! You got it right in early pandemic: one line for express, the other for more items, then fair distribution at the end of line. Don’t return to this Wild West, with one express line cover by 1 cashier and the other express line by 4. When you realized, you were too deep in the line. Let’s keep one good lesson learned in the pandemic.

This whole food is so clean. Lots of parking available. We went here twice. So far it was a pleasant experience!

Whole Foods is not my usual shopping place, however, I was out and about, and I needed to return an item to Amazon. That is why I initially chose to go to this particular Whole Foods--it is a return and pickup center for Amazon. First you need to do the online return stuff with Amazon (which was easy). When I went to Whole Foods to return my merchandise--that was easy, too.So, while I was there I wandered around and bought a few items. Most of their prices seemed high to me, but so it is. That is why I don't frequently shop there.I liked that they have a parking lot, and that they are still cleaning shopping carts. Also, their meat market seemed pretty spectacular to me.When I checked out, my checkout person was very tolerant of my ignorance of how to quickly buy things at Whole Foods.Nice place but $$$

I love shopping hear but only ocassionaly. They have the finest cheese and ingredients.Its a nice store to treat yourself they have quality products you can trust. Pricey though!
