Any confirmation on this yet?

There's no 2nd Tulsa listing on Wholefoods and the new signs on the SW corner of 91st and Yale say "new development coming soon" and "space available".   

No mention of Wholefoods as of 2 days ago.

I have confirmation that I am neither able to confirm or deny.

BTW, 3 Guys Smokin' Sauces and rubs are now available at your Whole Foods store!  We passed their strict analysis and secured our place as a natural alternative to BBQ products filled with HFCS, MSG, Creosote, Artificial Binders, and Preservatives.

Come visit us at Tulsa's Art of BBQ this weekend in the heart of Downtown.  Taster kits go on sale Saturday at 11.  Get there early!

Whole Foods corporate account tweeted last night they were opening a store in Tulsa.   No official announcement on location.

I still hear 91st & Yale.

SW corner of 91st & Yale confirmed on their Facebook page...and also the Tulsa World (which said it was confirmed on their Facebook page)..   Smiley

That is a pretty big site, is this part of a larger shopping center development at that corner?

I believe they will phase in development as tenants are signed up. But expect a big vacancy next door to WF which will be expanded into alcohol someday if we are lucky.

Meanwhile, a mile north at 79th and Yale you will find a Fresh Market store....  http://www.thefreshmarket.com/ ....in the old Borders.

And two miles east of the new WF you will see a similar concept as well.

Any idea when Fresh Market will open?  It's not even showing up on their website as a planned development.  I'd love to see one in the old Borders on 21st.

That would be interesting. The problem for that site (for a grocery) is lack of dock space. I heard that the deal was not solid yet.

On the WholeFoods, the 91st store is designed to be a much larger footprint based on their new development concept. Expanded inventory and wider isles, as well as more of a "departmental" design with 3rd party offerings (nutrition consulting, massage, healthy cooking classes, and other spa services.

I notice where WF has additional space secured in the space(s) immediately west of their current store.  It's amazing how that store has grown.  It doesn't matter what time I go, it's usually very busy.

The access on 21st isn't conducive to retail....more like office/medical....imho.

My guess would be open by end of 2012.

The reason Peoria WF has not expanded yet is probably due to landlord work. Just noticed new parking lot lights last month were installed.

I think the whole organic/natural foods marketing is a way to seperate the consumer from their money.

Agreed, there is a certain amount of wallet lube in "organic" marketing.  I'm personally not fanatical about organic fruits & veggies.  I will buy them when the price is comparable to non-organic though.

But, one thing I like about buying processed or packaged meats such as bacon, sausage lunch meat, or boxed products like chicken stock from Whole Foods is that I don't have to read the the label to see if it's laden with nitrites, nitrates, BHA, BHT or any other preservatives.  Interesting thing is, you can buy their brats or other speciality link sausages (like basil garlic pine nut) for roughly the same price you pay for a package of Johnsonvilles which are full of crap, when it's totally unnecessary to be in their product.  Generally Johnsonville's products are frozen in the store so what's the need for preservatives unless they figure it's going to sit on a loading dock and get warm a time or two...ghack!

I also find the WF links have less fat and better flavor.

As far as whole meats, I really don't care so much about free range or not and I'll get that at Reasor's or wherever I find the best cuts I like.
