Whole Foods Getting A Makeover

by Sue on August 7, 2008

I always thought that Whole Foods was way too expensive, but again, their food is quality and very health friendly, so I figured that was the trade off.  Because of the economy slump, Whole Foods is looking for change their image of being considered as “Whole Paycheck.” 

The New York Times reports that, “Now, in a sign of the times, the company is offering deeper discounts, adding lower-priced store brands and emphasizing value in its advertising. It is even inviting customers to show up for budget-focused store tours like those led by Mr. Hebb, a Whole Foods employee.”

I really like Whole Foods because their store is really clean, eco friendly, and health conscious.  I do agree that their prices are pretty steep when it comes to certain things, but hopefully with the makeover, we’ll see more lower prices in the near future.

That’s great news! I love whole foods but feel the price crunch every time I go so I usually make it a special treat. If their prices are really coming down then I would definitely make the trip more often.

BTW, just found you through alltop. Nice site!

I have to confess that I have yet to enter a Whole Foods. One has just been built near where I live, and your post has encouraged me to live dangerously and see if I can survive a visit :)

Well, I think their quality is excellent and as it rleates to quality health and putting the best possible food, fuel into your body, should never be short changed. You are what you eat, right?
