a peek inside: Fayetteville Whole Foods

February 27, 2016 By Talya Tate Boerner Leave a Comment

Whole Foods Fayetteville Ar

Fayetteville’s first Whole Foods opens next week with a “bread-breaking” on March 2. As a blogger, I took advantage of the invitationย to peek inside the new store. ย And as someone who moved from East Dallas where we had a Whole Foods and a Trader Joe’s within a fewย blocks of our house, I’m excited. I believe there’s plenty of room forย both Whole Foods andย Ozark Natural Foods (as well as IGAย and Harps, etc.). Separate niches, different benefits. Having choices is a good thing.

FYI: I was not compensated for this post, but I did receive a big bag of swag as part of the tour. Opinions are my own.ย 

My first impression:

Withย 16 beers on tap and many local varieties, I predict the beer / coffee bar will be a popular hangout. The space is roomy with a cool vibe. Booksย fill the wall and are bolted to theย ceiling. (While I prefer my books for reading, they make for interesting decoration.) There are tons of board games that can really be taken off the shelves and played. The store is planning a weekly trivia night.

There’s a beautiful wood-fired pizza oven offeringย the convenience of a made-to-orderย pie or a couple of to-go slices while shopping.

Although theย olive bar wasn’t stocked yet, it will be typicalย Whole Foods extensive.

There’s a niceย wine selection. #myhusbandsfavoriteplace

Cards, fresh flowers, gifts, candles, beauty products galore provide one stop shopping.

The store has a fishmonger. I like to say that word, but seriously, I predict the seafood selection will be the best in town.

And the cheese! Yes.

The GREAT: Produce &ย prepared foods, finish out, service, little touches = A++
The NOT SO GREAT: Traffic at that intersection is already tough. It will only get worse when the store opens.
The REALITY: No doubt, your food budget willย be on the upswing.
