Great news for Foothills folks! On August 27th, Whole Foods is finally reopening at the Casas Adobes Plaza on Oracle, with a new store nearly twice its original size. The store has been closed since January 2013, forcing many of us T-Locs to go without organic kohlrabi root and free-trade hemp hearts for way too long, but the year-long expansion looks like it will really pay off.

Whole Foods Market store team leader Scott Holmes said, “We are thrilled to open our doors this summer and show Tucson the changes we’ve made from the ground up to accommodate our growing role as a community resource for healthy living.”

We’ll keep you updated on opening day events and activities, but you can also track Whole Foods Oracle news on Facebook  at facebook.com/wholefoodsmarketoracle or on Twitter @WFMTucson.
