A Letter from our Store Team Leader:
Hello and Welcome to Whole Foods Market on the Upper West Side.
Our store is comprised of 350 hard working, passionate and happy team members. 20 countries and 32 languages and dialects are spoken in our store. Please do not hesitate to ask one of them if you need help. That's what we are here for.
Our 365 brand is private labeled and competitively priced. That means that it's manufactured for us by a vendor that sells the same product in our stores. You get the same great quality for a fraction of the cost.
Our Marketing Team will be leading Value Tours to throughout the store to point out these products to you, allowing you to sample along the way. They will also be leading Local Tours, noting all the Local products from NY, NJ and CT that we carry in our stores. We pride ourselves on being able to offer you great tasting products, that meet our high standards, at a reasonable price.
My favorite 365 product is our Extra Virgin Olive Oil. We have a version that is made from Spanish Olives, Greek Olives or Australian Olives. All are great tasting and reasonably priced. They make a great basic salad dressing or marinade if you add equal parts of lemon juice, along with some roasted garlic, salt and pepper. It is also a great skin treatment, especially in the winter time, when our skin tends to be drier. I like to warm mine a little on the stove and then rub it all over, concentrating on my heels, elbows and scalp.
Please introduce yourself when you are in the store. I can usually be found on the sales floor. Go to customer service and have them page me, I would love to meet you.
Best.

Witness the Crack Heard Round the World-Celebrate Parmigiano Reggiano
3:00pm Free | Details
On Saturday, February 27, at 12 p.m. PST/ 3p.m. EST, Whole Foods Market's cheese mongers in the U.S., Canada and the United Kingdom will demonstrate the traditional method of breaking into 24-month-aged wheels of Parmigiano Reggiano using official tools (five different knives) from Italy's Consorzio del Formaggio Parmigiano Reggiano. The process of carving into and portioning each 85-pound wheel requires an expert hand and is usually done in about half an hour. In 2008, Guinness World Records confirmed that Whole Foods Market, in its first-ever attempt, set a record for "Most Parmigiano Reggiano Wheels Cracked Simultaneously," with nearly 300 wheels opened at 176 stores. Whole Foods Market hopes to break that record with this year's event. The ceremony will mark the grand finale to a month-long spotlight of Parmigiano Reggiano, which will honor the tradition behind the "king of cheese" and highlight its versatility.
