It’s official: Whole Foods is coming to Crystal City.
A new store is in development at 1550 Crystal Drive, where Amazon Fresh shuttered in April, Whole Foods Market confirmed with ARLnow. This is in addition to another Whole Foods scheduled to open next month at 103 E. Broad Street in Falls Church.
The ARLnow Shop had another busy holiday season, with lots of satisfied customers ordering Arlington merch you can’t get anywhere else (and which supports our local reporting).
But all good things must come to an end and we’ve made the decision that running an online store year-round isn’t really the best use of resources, especially given that the bulk of orders are placed between Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Good Wednesday evening, Arlington. Let’s take a look back at today’s stories and a look forward to tomorrow’s event calendar.
