San Francisco’s new big Complete Meals has a gap date
Whole Foods will open its new San Francisco flagship store at Trinity Place in the Mid-Market neighborhood with an emphasis on locally sourced goods from Northern California on March 10.
The popular natural and organic foods grocer recently opened in Stonestown Galleria in January. But its newest location at 1185 Market St. is nearly 65,000 square feet, making it the city’s largest Whole Foods option for residents. It’s slated to feature more than 3,700 local products throughout its aisles, including organic mushrooms from Far West Fungi and salad greens from Plenty’s San Francisco farm.
Besides its extensive wine offerings from Napa and Santa Cruz vineyards, there are more than 300 craft beverages with Barebottle sour beers, low-calorie margaritas from Laughing Glass and hoppy suds by San Francisco Brewing, all represented on shelf space.
For those with a sweet tooth, find these local favorites in the bakery: croissant toasts from La Boulangerie, breads from Wise Sons deli, macarons from L’Artisan and hearth breads from Acme, Semifreddi’s and Firebrand.
The wellness and beauty section will offer more than 50 local products, namely clean skin care line Cocokind and supplements such as green moringa powders from Kuli Kuli based out of Oakland.
The store is attempting to represent familiar neighborhood brands, and its design takes the local emphasis a step further by taking inspiration from several San Francisco neighborhoods and landmarks such as the former Crystal Palace Market, the Tenderloin district and the iconic colors of the Golden Gate Bridge .
