News Nearby: Whole Foods Market Coming to Kennesaw

Whole Foods Market has announced that it will open a new Kennesaw area location in a mixed-use development at the corner of Barrett Parkway and U.S. 41/Cobb Parkway.

Last week, Atlanta’s Fuqua Development LLC filed plans with the state for the approximate 50-acre project that would include 450,000 square feet of retail space and 30 residential units.

The Kennesaw area supermarket for natural and organic foods will occupy approximately 45,000 square feet of retail space and is slated to open in 2016.

“We’re always looking for new locations around the Atlanta metro area,” Jeremiah Ryan, Whole Foods Market South region executive coordinator of operations, said in a press release.

“We’re excited that we’ve found a great location for the Kennesaw community, and we look forward to providing more people with good, healthy food options. We aim to be more than a grocery – our stores have a strong connection with the communities they serve. Whether through volunteer hours or fundraising efforts, we look forward to growing those partnerships with our newest store in Georgia.”

Whole Foods Market features a fresh and enticing selection of natural foods in their purest state, free of artificial flavors, colors, sweeteners, and preservatives as well as hydrogenated fats.
