Introduction
Whole Foods has been a healthy foods force since its first iteration as SaferWay (a spoof name adapted from Safeway) in 1978 before merging with Clarksville Natural Grocery and changing its name to its current brand identity two years later.
Per ScrapeHero.com’s most recently updated location count: There are 514 Whole Foods Market stores in the United States as of May 29, 2023. The state with the most number of Whole Foods Market locations in the US is California, with 95 stores, which is about 18% of all Whole Foods Market stores in the US.
Now comes word that a flagship Washington, D.C. location is set to open later this month.
