About the brand ❤️
Whole Foods Market is a U.S.-based retail chain founded in 1980 in Austin, Texas, focused on natural and organic grocery products. The original store emerged from a merger between SaferWay and Clarksville Natural Grocery. Over the next two decades, Whole Foods expanded across the U.S. via acquisitions like Bread & Circus, Fresh Fields, and Wild Oats, and entered international markets in Canada (2002) and the UK (2004). In 2017, Whole Foods was acquired by Amazon, which lowered prices, integrated Prime member benefits, and accelerated omnichannel grocery innovation. It now operates over 500 stores across the U.S., Canada, and the UK, offering a curated selection of high‑quality foods and private‑label goods, with prominent digital fulfillment and loyalty programs under Amazon’s direction.
