[RP TownTalk] [HOPE_in_Hyattsville] Whole Foods opens TOMORROWd

Wed Apr 12 14:04:23 UTC 2017

I was just at the grand opening.  Having been a Whole Foods shopper for decades, shopping at many stores in Maryland and DC, I really do not like this store.  The shelving is too high, as in looming like a box store.  The floors are ugly concrete, like a box store.  They did not have the selection of products that Silver Spring has.  It is strangely organized.  The cheese dept. and bakery do not match Silver Spring, let alone Georgetown, which has always been my favorite.  I left the store this morning and went down to Yes to buy most of my groceries.  So much for competition.By the way, their bags and pizza oven say Riverdale, rather than Riverdale Park, which is the city name, or Riversdale, which is the plantation name.We really like the Starbucks though.  I am hugely disappointed after our many years wait.  Nina

    Whole Foods is good. Yay! Competition is good for the consumer. Yay! 
I hope Yes Organic Market is able to compete w/ the new Big Kid on the block. It has been very nice to have a small organic market within walking distance.  I would hate to see us lose that option. Lately, I have noticed that prices at Yes Organic have been a bit more competitive. So we shall see... 

There were also questions about whether the area could support new stores without hurting other area establishments. Stuart Eisenberg, executive director of the Hyattsville Community Development Corporation (HCDC), discussed how the HCDC-commissioned Route 1 Communities Retail Market Study (April 2012; Bolan Smart Associates, Inc.) demonstrated that the Riverdale Park Station plans were unlikely to saturate the market. Eisenberg said, “It showed that there was the demand and the money available. We could afford to put things in and not have crippling competition.” The analysis, he said, showed that the area could likely support, for example, both the Safeway (which opened in April 2016) and the Whole Foods Market.

     The first Whole Foods Market in Prince George’s County will open April 12 on Baltimore Avenue in Riverdale Park. The 40,000-square-foot store will be the primary anchor for Riverdale Park Station. Hyattsville Life & Times has details on the store and what it means for Prince George's County.
