New 365 By Whole Foods Market In Silver Lake Will Officially Open In May
The 365 by Whole Foods Market in Silver Lake now has an official opening date: May 25. According to a release from the company, the new 365 by Whole Foods Market will open at 2520 Glendale Blvd. in Silver Lake on Wednesday, May 25. This shop will be the first of its kind in the country. 365 by Whole Foods Market, unlike a regular Whole Foods, will focus on selling more affordable products. The shop takes over what was once a Ralphs.
In addition to 365 products, the market will also include to-go or dine-in food from NYC-based vegan restaurant by CHLOE, coffee and beer from Allegro Coffee and a tea kiosk called teaBot that allows customers to grab their own tea in "less than 30 seconds."
The market will also offer grocery delivery via Instacart.
A branch of Wells Fargo Bank as well as two restaurants are also intended to move into the shopping center, according to Eastside L.A., joining an existing CVS and Starbucks.

As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
