As part of the opening day celebrations, guests can enjoy complimentary coffee, snacks and music before the store opens. The first 300 customers in line will receive a custom Whole Foods Market Castle Rock reusable tote bag.

“We are thrilled to bring Whole Foods Market to Castle Rock, and we’re working hard to create an environment that will feel warm and welcoming to the community,” said Mike Hughes, store team leader. “We look forward to offering high-quality food, grocery and body care products, including many local items unique to this area, as well as an in-store restaurant, Genji Izakaya & Ramen Taproom, that we’re sure the neighborhood will love.”

All food at Whole Foods Market must meet the company’s rigorous quality standards, which prohibit hydrogenated fats, high-fructose corn syrup and artificial sweeteners, as well as over 100 colors, flavors and preservatives commonly found in food. In addition, all beauty and body care products must meet the company’s body care standards, which ban more than 100 commonly used ingredients, including phthalates, parabens and microbeads.

Special features of the store will include:
