Signaling the completion of its major redevelopment of Merchant’s Walk, Edens & Avant will officially open the Whole Foods Market in East Cobb County tomorrow.
As the world’s leading provider of natural and organic foods, Whole Foods is known for maintaining the strictest quality standards in the grocery industry with a strong commitment to sustainable agriculture. The 45,000 s.f. Merchant’s Walk location is Whole Food Market’s eighth store in Georgia, according to a press release.
The opening will be marked by a “bread-breaking” ceremony to be held at 8:45 a.m. Wednesday at 1311 Johnson Ferry Road in Marietta, Ga.
Wednesday’s grand opening also ushers in the new era of a dramatically redesigned Merchant’s Walk. With a redevelopment that began in August 2009, Merchant’s Walk now includes major aesthetic and parking improvements; the expansion and renovation of Georgia Theatre Company’s Merchant’s Walk Stadium Cinemas; and the addition of regional and national restaurants and retailers that include Marlow’s Tavern, The Cook’s Warehouse, Seed Kitchen & Bar, ULTA Beauty, Mirko Pasta, Chipotle Mexican Grill, Pinkberry and Gigi’s Cupcakes.
“Merchant’s Walk is a terrific location for the South region’s growing map of stores,” said Scott Allshouse, regional president for Whole Foods Market. “The East Cobb community is ready for a new grocery option and a new place to celebrate good food and healthy eating. We are especially thrilled to be partnering with our neighbor, The Cook’s Warehouse, and we’re pleased to work with Edens & Avant on this project.”
The new Whole Foods Market at Merchant’s Walk is open 7:30 a.m.-10 p.m. Monday to Saturday and 9 a.m.-9 p.m. Sunday.
