I had been told that it was amazing. It was. I had been told that it would take us about an hour just to walk through it. We took about fifteen minutes. Not that it wasn’t interesting, but we just had dinner, and food wasn’t as much fun to look at.
Whole Foods opened a couple of weeks ago on the ever-over-crowded Woodruff Road. What hits you first is that everything is arranged in almost perfect order. This type of obsessiveness costs money in time, salaries, etc., and that cost is reflected in the prices of most of the items in the store.
Take a look at these bell peppers, for example…
Note that all of the stems are turned exactly the same way. I can’t help but wonder how long they will stay that perfectly arranged. The same holds true for jars, boxes, and other produce, such as these apples…
In addition to perfectly arranged rows of food, there was an astounding array of prepared foods, and a place to sit and eat a meal, complete with wine available. If I were throwing a dinner party and had need of some exotic ingredient, this would be the perfect place to find it.
