Whole Foods coming to Interbay after all

Whole Foods has settled its legal dispute with developer TRF Pacific, paving the way to open its latest store along 15th Ave. in Interbay after all.

Construction ground to a halt late last year after Whole Foods had second thoughts about moving into the entire 38,000 square foot space. But the new plan is for Whole Foods to open a smaller store later this year and sub-lease the remaining square footage to another retailer.

The Interbay Urban Center Whole Foods Market will offer a salad bar, hot bar, chef’s case, all-natural sandwiches, coffee shop and other amenities, such as cooking classes and demonstrations. Peet’s Coffee, Subway, Verizon Wireless and a dry cleaner are also planning to move in the complex. Magnolia Voice attended the big announcement and has full coverage here.

  1. I have consistenely received lack of acknowledgement or rude/no service at Ballard Market. Seems strange that the whole store can be this way, but after 20+ visits, I won't go back. Glad to see WF is coming finally. Trader Joe's & WF's will be my groceries of choice!
