First Whole Foods Market Daily Shop to Open September 18 in New York City’s Upper East Side
Additionally, retailer announces third Manhattan location for its smaller new store format, coming to the East Village’s StuyTown development
Whole Foods Market will open its first smaller format store, Whole Foods Market Daily Shop, on September 18 at 8:30 a.m. The 9,101 square-foot store is located at 1175 Third Avenue, in New York City’s Lenox Hill neighborhood in the Upper East Side. It is designed to bring the freshest, high-quality ingredients to customers with a convenience that fits their fast-paced urban lifestyles.
Announced in March 2024, Whole Foods Market Daily Shop will provide a convenient option for grab-and-go meals and snacks, weekly essentials, and a quick, easy destination to pick up ingredients to complete a meal – with all items meeting the company’s rigorous quality standards. The innovative, smaller format stores will range between 7,000 to 14,000 square feet, or about a quarter to half the footprint of an average 40,000 square foot store.
Features and product assortment of the Lenox Hill location include:
- More than 400 local products, from 100+ Northeast-based suppliers, including New York-based favorites Family Farmstead Dairy, The White Moustache, Annie’s Ginger Elixir, Dam Good English Muffins and Mill Hollow Maple Syrup.
- New local brands launching at the Lenox Hill location include Jack & Friends, P-Nuff Crunch and Mimi Cheng’s. Additionally, TALEA Beer Co. is introducing its Lenox Hill Pilsner, which will only be available at the Lenox Hill location.
- First Juice & Java venue in New York City, offering coffee, tea, juices, smoothies, sandwiches, soups and various desserts.
- Launch of new ready to heat sous vide entrees & sides from the Whole Foods Market Kitchens brand.
- Single serve hot bowls and meals including health-forward Teriyaki Salmon, Falafel Tahini and Chipotle Chicken grain and protein bowls.
- Whole Foods Market favorites, including an ample selection of fresh, seasonal produce, meat and seafood, prepared foods like sandwiches and pre-packed meals, breads, alcohol, and supplements, as well as a handpicked range of local specialties and our own 365 by Whole Foods Market brand.
The first 300 customers in line on opening morning will receive a limited-edition tote bag, complimentary cold brew coffee from Nguyen Coffee Supply and muffins from Abe’s.
As part of its ongoing commitment to supporting local communities, Whole Foods Market is contributing in-kind product to support the work of The Bowery Mission, City Harvest and Gotham Food Pantry. The three organizations will also pick up excess food from the Lenox Hill location as part of Whole Foods Market’s Grocery Rescue Program, and The Bowery Mission and City Harvest are Nourishing our Neighborhoods van partners.
The grocer is also announcing plans to open another Whole Foods Market Daily Shop location at 409 E 14th Street, in the East Village’s StuyTown development. This is the third New York City location confirmed by Whole Foods Market, following the recently announced Hell’s Kitchen location. Additional New York City locations and national rollout will follow.
