Whole Foods Market has agreed deals to open six new stores in London over the next few months.
Earlier this month, the natural and organic food retailer opened a 21,000 sq ft store on King’s Road in London – its first UK location in more than a decade.
The retailer has signed for new sites in Angel, Liverpool Street, Notting Hill Gate, Wood Wharf (Canary Wharf), Monument and St James’s, doubling its UK store portfolio to 12.
Jason Buechel, vice president of Amazon’s Worldwide Grocery Stores and Whole Foods Market CEO, said: “We’re happy to be expanding Whole Foods Market’s physical store presence in the UK, allowing us to reach more customers with our uncompromising quality standards and carefully curated selection of natural and organic products. Each new store represents an opportunity to bring responsibly sourced, high quality food to more communities who share our values of nourishing people and the planet.”
Jade Hoai, executive leader of operations for Whole Foods Market UK, added: “We are thrilled to bring Whole Foods Market to more neighbourhoods in London. We look forward to opening our doors to these wonderful communities and to providing great customer service and an excellent product assortment that meets our high quality standards.”
