Whole Foods Market opened the fourth location of its smaller format store concept, Whole Foods Market Daily Shop, on Oct. 23 in the Crystal City neighborhood of Arlington, Virginia, the first of its kind outside of New York City.
The store – located at 1550 Crystal Drive – has more than 10,000 square feet of retail space, making it the largest Whole Foods Market Daily Shop to open to date. The store features more than 250 local items from the broader D.C., Maryland and Virginia (DMV) area and surrounding states, each meeting Whole Foods Market’s quality standards.
“I am honored to open the doors to our first Whole Foods Market Daily Shop in the D.C. metro area. We’re a three-minute walk from the metro and close to Reagan airport in a neighborhood busy with active residents, shopping and offices,” said Jose Gomez, store team leader.
“If you want a quick lunch, need some ingredients on your way home from work or you’re stopping in for a meal to-go ahead of a flight, we’re ready to serve you.”
On opening morning, customers were treated to complimentary coffee and samples from local suppliers, and the first 300 customers in line also received a limited-edition tote bag.
As part of its commitment to support local communities, Whole Foods Market is contributing in-kind product to support the work of Northern Virginia Food Rescue. Whole Foods Market also will make donations to nonprofits ALIVE! Inc. and the Arlington Food Assistance Center.
The Crystal City store is open from 7 a.m.-10 p.m. daily. For more information on the store, click here.
