Whole Foods has finally made it official, setting the opening date of its long-anticipated Charlotte store: August 29.
The retailer has been one of Charlotte's most-desired stores for years, as residents waited while they popped up in other cities around North Carolina. The store, in the SouthPark area on Fairview Road, has been under construction for more than a year.
To promote the opening, Whole Foods and uptown's 7th Street Public Market are offering a pop-up shopping event this week. "The mini “store” inside the 7th Street Market will feature a small sampling of some of the groceries available at the Whole Foods Market opening in SouthPark," Whole Foods said in a press release.
The pop-up shop will run Thursday and Friday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. at 224 East 7th Street.
