Silver Lake's 365 By Whole Foods Market Will Have Lower Prices & Shorter Shelves
If you've been curious how Silver Lake's 365 by Whole Foods Market is going to differ from an ordinary Whole Foods, the retailer has some answers. Whole Foods will open the first of several 365 by Whole Foods Market at 2520 Glendale Blvd. in Silver Lake on Wednesday, May 25.
365 president Jeff Turnas told Business Insider that the 365 stores will be considerably smaller with lower shelving and express checkout lanes for convenience. They'll also be cheaper, with prices more in line with Trader Joe's and Sprouts, and will feature a rewards program. Digital signs will replace printed paper signs, allowing the retailer to make quick prices changes.
The store will carry about a third of a Whole Foods' usual stock, some from the store's 365 Everyday Value brand and then other products from national brands. Some of the latter are brands that are not typically sold at Whole Foods. Prepared foods will be located in the center of the store.
Whole Foods cut costs when it came to the building, design and furnishing of the 365 stores. Despite the basic design, 365 stores will also offer places where shoppers can hang out, including restaurants as well as beer, coffee and juice bars. When Silver Lake's 365 opens, it will contain an outpost of New York's popular vegan eatery by CHLOE, a self-serve tea kiosk, and a coffee and craft beer bar from Allegro Coffee Company. The market will also offer delivery via Instacart.
At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
