Whole Foods announces move to Jamaica Plain, relocation in Wellesley and proposed new construction in Lynnfield.
Whole Foods has announced it has signed a lease and will be taking over the 17,000sf former Hi Lo Supermarket which had been operating at the Center Street site for almost 40 years. Whole Foods is undergoing significant renovations and is expected to open this October in this gentrified Hyde Square Neighborhood. The Dartmouth Company assisted the Knapp family with whom it has been working with for 20 years in various different real estate ventures while also representing Whole Foods in its continued growth in the New England area.
“Whole Foods Market has been keenly interested in developing a Jamaica Plain location. We are now eager to become active members of such a strong, diverse neighborhood and to open a store that is reflective of the vibrant community,” Laura Derba, Whole Foods Market North Atlantic regional president, said in a statement.
"In keeping with the company’s mission, Whole Foods Market plans to source a wide variety of products that meet its strict quality standards as well as the diverse needs of their shoppers"
Scott Black of The Dartmouth Company also represented Whole Foods in it’s relocation of the Wellesley Store slated to open this fall in the former Star Market in addition to the recently announced Lynnfield proposed development being constructed by W.S. Development and National Development jointly.
