New Whole Foods Market in Lakewood, Colorado, Now Open

Today, Whole Foods Market opened a new 49,500-square-foot store located at 14225 W. Colfax Ave. in Lakewood, Co. The store is a relocation of the existing Colfax store (14357 W. Colfax Ave.), which has served the community for more than 27 years. The Colfax’s store’s product assortment includes more than 800 locally sourced items from Colorado, each meeting Whole Foods Market’s rigorous quality standards. 

“Opening our new Lakewood store is an exciting moment for our team and this community,” said Robert Crouse, Store Team Leader at Whole Foods Market. “With a larger footprint and hundreds of Colorado-made products, we’re opening our doors with our same commitment to delicious food, great service, and a welcoming space for both our longtime customers and new neighbors alike.” 

Opening morning, customers enjoyed complimentary juice from Big B’s, herbal coffee alternatives from Rasa and sweet bread bites from Outrageous Baking. The first 300 shoppers in line were given a limited-edition tote bag and a Secret Saver coupon, featuring offers of up to $100. 

Additionally, on opening morning, Whole Foods Market provided a food donation to The Action Center, which makes regular surplus food pickups from local Whole Foods Market stores to help prevent food waste and serve the surrounding community. The donation is part of Whole Foods Market’s Nourishing Our Neighborhoods program, which aims to enhance the ability of local food rescue organizations to transport surplus food to areas facing the greatest need. Whole Foods Market is also donating to local organizations Denver Rescue Mission and Giving Heart Englewood.   

Whole Foods Market also presented Denver-based supplier Lentiful with a low-interest loan through the Whole Foods Market Lending Program, to support their national expansion into approximately 390 Whole Foods Market locations. Through the program, Whole Foods Market lends money to small-scale, local or emerging producers to help them grow their businesses. To date, the retailer has provided 430 loans, representing roughly $39 million in capital for recipients.
