Enjoy massages, mineral makeup and organic goods

Flag As Inappropriaterod rod over 2 years ago about Whole Foods Market

Whole Foods is prototyping an in-store spa and introducing a new mineral makeup line. They are going beyond the simple ‘popular market for conscious consumer groceries’ business towards complete customer well-being. Of course, all this is subject to premium prices but this move makes a lot of sense; if healthy choices and overall well-being is a company virtue why not dedicate (all?) company resources to fulfilling every aspect of a healthy lifestyle? Without considering how this may effect their core retail business it shows that profitable businesses can do the right thing without compromising customers’ health. Nice.

Have stock in WF. Love it.

I urge these: Big Bulk Buy aisles. More sample areas. Seperate dining area for Lunch. More checkstands Self Serve checkout. CUT prices. IE U bag grainola mixes. WF use CNG LNG Trucks for delieveries. In store Hydroponics for vegetables??? Facial area for women. Kids play zone area. BBQ for summer time dining.
