The long-anticipated Whole Foods on 3rd Avenue and 3rd Street in Gowanus plans to open before the end of the year, a spokesperson for the store told DNAinfo. The building is still very much under construction, with scaffolding obscuring the exterior, but the store is hiring more than 300 staff now. Pardon Me for Asking was the first to report the store is hiring. Curbed also published a rumor the store is aiming to open in time for Thanksgiving. About 90 percent of the store workers are expected to be Brooklyn residents, said Whole Foods. Gotham Greens will operate a rooftop garden on the top of the building. The rendering of the new store, above, shows the site from 3rd Street. The historic Coignet building on the corner of 3rd Avenue and 3rd Street, which Whole Foods does not own but is restoring, is barely visible in the upper left corner.

Welcome to Brooklyn! And thank you for your many years of hard work getting approval to build on the waste land of a site that was once there. I’m thrilled you decided to add a beautiful rooftop garden too. Thank you again for coming to Brooklyn and revitalizing this section of Brooklyn. I look forward to visiting your new store and buying all of my Thanksgiving groceries there this year. Cheers!
Trader joe’s is nothing but a nuisance of double parked cars blocking traffic on Court and double parked trucks blocking traffic on Atlantic Avenue. At least this place has offstreet parking.
Where’s the outrage that a soul-less suburban chain is opening up in the sophisticated indie retail wonderland of brownstone brooklyn?

WF has some of the highest levels of wastage of any grocery store in the US. Don’t believe their propaganda about donating their excess to community organizations; this only covers a fraction of it. The rest of it ends up in their locked dumpsters every night. Any shoppers with a modicum of concern for the planet needs to realize their carbon footprint is absolutely massive.
No, no! I completely agree! Prententious and overpriced. All the Park Slopers will eat it up. I’ll be at Fairway.
The correct name of the building is “Coignet”, not “Cognate”
Old fuddy-duddies, the both of you…
i guess you don’t know much about STFU
