Whole Foods Market opens its new 40,000 square-foot store in Tempe located at 750 S. Ash Avenue on Wednesday.
“We’re thrilled to welcome this community to their new Whole Foods Market, the only destination grocery store in downtown Tempe,” said Stephen Rice, Store Team Leader. “This location offers our customers a wider selection of fresh, accessible, high quality grocery items, locally sourced products and ready-to-eat prepared foods. Additionally, it includes a full-service juice bar and On Ash, our in-store bar and restaurant. With daily specials and happy hour deals, multiple televisions, and plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, it’s the perfect place to hang out with friends, watch the game and enjoy delicious food.”
On Wednesday, December 4, 5% of the store’s net sales will benefit Arizona State University’s Swette Center for Sustainable Food Systems, which develops innovative ideas and solutions to the challenges of current food systems. The funds will support the school’s upcoming Future of Food farm tour.
The new Tempe store is also home to a bar and restaurant called On Ash with indoor and outdoor seating for 150 customers across two floors.
