Welcome to Whole Foods Market • Garden City Center

Meet the Team

We are thrilled to open the doors to the newest Whole Foods Market in Rhode Island — Whole Foods Market at Garden City Center.

Meet Dianne Dickson, Store Team Leader

My name is Dianne Dickson and I am the Store Team Leader of the newest Whole Foods Market in Rhode Island, Whole Foods Market at Garden City Center.

I have been with WFM for 10 1/2 years. I came to Whole Foods Market in search of a company whose integrity that I could respect — and found a home with a company whose core values and mission I can feel good about. I take pride in WFM’s quality standards and exceptional service as well as its commitment to team member happiness and excellence.

Whole Foods Market is truly excited to join the Cranston community, a neighborhood rich in food, culture and history. Although Rhode Island is the smallest state, Rhode Islanders cherish and celebrate the history and tradition of their food in a big way. We invite you to order a coffee cabinet at our coffee bar, join us for Chowder and Clam Cakes for lunch on Fridays or make your Sunday morning pancakes with Kenyon Grist Mill’s pancake mix. Whole Foods Market will continue to make this a community that honors the past with an eye towards the future.

As a company with a conscience we take very seriously our commitment to the local community. We have already met with a core group of non-profits whose missions we are eager to support. As we put down roots in Cranston, we really look forward to adding to what is an already fantastic community. Here’s a partial list of local non profits that we are working with: Rhode Island Community Food Bank, Cranston Historical Society, The Tomorrow Fund, Farm Fresh Rhode Island and the Cranston Public Library.

I welcome you to try our amazing rib eye steaks (my favorite!), ask a team member about our 365 and 365 organic Every Day Value products if you are shopping on a budget, look for products on our shelves that were made in Rhode Island and most of all enjoy the experience. From our handmade pasta station to our gelato bar, we pride ourselves in creating the shopping experience of a lifetime and we look forward to bringing just that to Cranston, Rhode Island.

See you in the store!
