Kansas City movers and locals alike are thrilled to hear that Whole Foods will finally be opening a Kansas City location in 2017. Whole Foods is said to be opening its Kansas City doors sometime during the first half of 2017 at the corner of 51st Street and Oak, an announcement that was made shortly after the company’s Olathe location opened its doors.
The company gave Kansas City residents a glimpse into the Whole Foods experience by letting residents taste their food at a fresh food stand they hosted earlier this month at the University of Missouri – Kansas City administrative building.
UMKC medical student Lala Azher explained, “I got some really funky looking vegetables. I got tomatoes because they said they were really good. I’m pretty excited about that.” Azher also explained that it can be extremely difficult for UMKC students to find the time to eat healthy, so she and other students are looking forward to Whole Foods moving to the Missouri side of Kansas City.
“It will definitely help students who live on campus and commuters like me,” said Azher.
Kansas City moving companies are also pretty excited and are hoping that the organic marketplace will be appealing to those who are looking to move to Kansas City by 2017.
