Founded in 1980 as one small store in Austin, Texas, Whole Foods MarketĀ® is now the world's largest retailer of natural and organic foods, with 162 stores in North America and the United Kingdom. To date Whole Foods Market remains uniquely mission driven: We're highly selective about what we sell, dedicated to stringent Quality Standards, and committed to sustainable agriculture.
We believe in a virtuous circle entwining the food chain, human beings and Mother Earth: each is reliant upon the others through a beautiful and delicate symbiosis.
