Whole Foods began in the early 1980s in a small flood-prone site farther north on Lamar. The store has since expanded to cities across the United States and into its current limestone home thanks to its healthy success. Of course, the store carries tempeh, tofu, miso and a plethora of fresh fruits and vegetables, but customers will also find organic wines, natural beef and free-range chicken. The quick carryout deli offers a variety of worldly foods including Greek dolmas, grilled eggplant, Mexican empanadas and chicken salad. Shoppers will find much more than just food; also offered is a full line of organic cosmetics, skin and hair care products, essential oils, fresh flowers, jewelry, hemp clothing, a good selection of books and magazines and many home accessories.
