The Whole Foods Market is moving and expanding its store in Rochester Hills, company credited with igniting customer interest in organic food product.  On Walton Boulevard the existing Whole Food Market is closed at the end of last week, and the new 55,000 square foot store at Walton Boulevard and Adams Road will be open Wednesday.  The manager of the new store Ron Hayek said while Whole Food is occupying a space used by Farmer Jack up until last year, all of the fixtures are new.  Hayek also said the store will also have 162 employees or double the number of the old store.

Whole Foods also used a wide array of natural and recycled materials, including recycled glass and wood, for the flooring and counter.  Hayek said “this new, larger location helps us share our enthusiasm for the freshest, most flavorful natural and organic foods available with more services”.  Whole Foods plans to open its fifth Michigan store next month on the west side of Ann Arbor.  The new Rochester Hills store is the largest Whole Foods outlet in Michigan and first new location for the company in five years.  In the entire store they have more than 200 varieties of seasonal and local produce, at least 100 of which are certified organic.
