Whole Foods Market Inc. is introducing a new type of store with smaller footprints — think Trader Joe’s — designed for urban neighborhoods.
While the stores won’t be as small as bodegas, Austin-based Whole Foods Market — bought by Amazon.com Inc (Nasdaq: AMZN) in 2017 — announced March 4 that it has introduced a quick-shop concept called Whole Foods Market Daily Shop. The company will debut the format on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, with additional New York locations to follow. The first location is expected to open this year.
