Whole Foods Rumor Bites the Dust
The Local dispels the rumor started by the developer of the 365-unit rental at 470 Vanderbilt Avenue that Whole Foods was under consideration for the site: “‘There’s nothing in the works here right now,’ said Mara Engel Wedeck, contact for the Northeast region for the behemoth healthy foods chain.” Oh well.

Eh Whole Foods – shopping at the one in union square makes me want to roundhouse kick numerous people chuck norris style.
“whole paycheck”
Never heard that one….not bad.
rob, why are you so bitter and unhappy? being old is not good enough for me…
YES! Fairway >>>>>>>>>>> Whole ripoff by a landslide. hells give me a damn Associated anyday over whole paycheck.
*rob*
There are too many poor people i.e., brown people in BK for Whole Foods. The population in BK isn’t rich enough and Whole Food demands a large income per captia.
Who needs them anyway when you have Fairway. Which is much better.
i still cant believe people shop at “whole paycheck”. i love that term.

I was pretty surprised when the developer said whole foods so clearly. The best way to queer a deal is to talk about it before its signed. Normally the best way to say it is
“we are in a discussion with a major food retailer but for competitive reasons until the deal is signed we can’t say who it is”…..which means one of two things. yes we are close to a deal or I am lying through me teeth….
things developers like to promise to would be buying yuppies:
1.) whole foods
2.) apple stores
3.) uhhh, im drawing a blank
but you get the jist.
*rob*
“under consideration” being the operative phrase – like Apple Stores, developers are always considering Whole Foods, and happy to float the (usually false) idea that there is an actual dialog going on with said retailers or any real hope the one of these upscale retailers are going to sign on to a project that is years away from realization.
