Whole Foods History

Whole foods logo2

Whole Foods Market began in 1978 when current CEO John Mackey and his girlfriend opened a natural food store called SaferWay in Santa Monica, California.

In 1980, SaferWay merged with another natural grocery store, resulting in the first Whole Foods location in Austin, Texas.

The following year, a huge flood devastated Austin.  Whole Foods lost all of their inventory and had no insurance.  Neighbors chipped in to help fix the damage.

Whole Foods store front In 1984, Whole Foods expanded to Houston and Dallas.  In 1988, the expansion continued to New Orleans.  In 1989, a Palo Alto location was opened on the west coast.

The company continued to grow in the 90s and the 100th location opened in Torrence, CA in 1999.

Whole foods store at night There were several acquisitions in the 2000s and the chain continued to grow.  A flagship 80,000 sq ft store was built in Austin in 2005, which also serves as the Whole Foods corporate office.

Today the company operates more than 500 locations in the US, Canada, and the UK.

Whole foods with Amazon Prime sign In June 2017, Whole Foods was acquired by Amazon for $13.7 Billion.  The company is still struggling to make this endeavor a success two years later. 

The company came under fire in the summer of 2019 for supporting the Drag Queen Story Hour. Christians are calling for a boycott of the company. 

In August 2021, parent company Amazon stated that they would need to start charging for delivery service to stay profitable. 

Headquarters, at this time, remain in Austin, Texas.
