East Memphis Whole Foods plans to move | Real Estate

(WMC-TV) - Whole Foods is moving its only store in the Memphis area, according to The Memphis Business Journal.

But lovers of organic food and healthy eating shouldn't worry. The grocery store is only moving a few feet to the south. The store will take over the building currently occupied by Office Depot.

According to the MBJ:

The new Whole Foods will be 60 percent larger. Its current store is about 25,000 square feet and its new one will be about 40,000 square feet.

And not only will shoppers get a bigger store, they'll also get more parking space. The current Whole Foods building will be demolished and turned into a parking lot, the MBJ reports.

According to a statement from Office Depot, the store will remain open until a new location is found.
