[RP TownTalk] RP Wiki poll on Whole Foods - results thus far

The Whole Foods Question: RP Wiki Poll results (thus far)

Needless to say, this is a very unscientific sample!  Of those who did take
the time and effort to respond (thank you!), 7 out of 10 say they expect to
shop at a Riverdale Park Whole Foods "regularly", while 30% don't.  Of the
30% who don't, fewer than half gave prices as the reason.

Nearly half -- 45% -- of 38 respondents now shop at MOMs in College Park
(about 4 miles from RP Town Center).  Nearly a third shop at either the
Silver Spring (6 miles) or the P St. (7 miles) Whole Foods stores now.  All
in all we're talking about a lot of reduced gas & driving time with the
introduction of an attractive grocery store (whatever it is, i suspect) on
the Cafritz property.

If you haven't yet responded to the poll, it's not too late! You'll find it
