Whole Foods Opening on Lonsdale Avenue in North Van

Grocery shoppers will have to wait a while for North Vancouver’s first Whole Foods to open on the corner of 13th and Lonsdale Avenue.

Slated to open in early 2018, the 40,000-square-foot store will be in the same lot where Safeway is now and will anchor The Onni Group’s mixed-use development, which includes an 80-foot office building and two condo towers measuring 240 feet and 180 feet.

“We are deeply committed to creating a store that serves the unique needs of this community, and will reach out to ask for direct feedback about what our new neighbours would like to see in the store,” said Joe Rogoff, president of Whole Foods in the Pacific North West region, in a press release.

Know for its organic and natural selection of food, this will be the second Whole Foods on the North Shore, including a location already at Park Royal Village.
