I hate it when supposedly liberal, earth-minded people prove they are simply equal to most other unethical businesspeople.
Whole Foods CEO John Mackey played a bit too obviously on chat.
Whole Foods is good, Wild Oats is bad…
It's not to say, though, that all kinds of CEOs and other management types aren't doing the same thing all the time. Why would anyone base their financial decisions on what was chattering around online anyway?
I have never shopped at Whole Foods. Could it be that the stores are all miles and miles and miles away from the central city?
I can't appreciate enough the original Wild Oats mini-market on 43rd and Main.

are whole foods in KC? they are strong in midwest (tx, il, wi) the midwest division is ramping up, lots of stores in chicago, in urban areas: one seeking LEED certification as a pilot, but most new const. is at least eco-sponsible.
we had a Wild Oats in Tucson - it rocked (altho it could just be a coincidence if yours is privately owned rather than a chain) -- Whole Foods in Cleveland wasn't nearly as good as simply going to the co-op! So there.
yes, e, there are whole foods "here," but they are all in the suburbs. they are wal-marty in that they don't "do" urban (at least not that i've seen). i'm glad they are taking the lead on LEED; it makes sense. having to drive 30 miles to get a decent carrot (or whatever) doesn't.
