POLL: Whole Foods' Grand Opening is Wednesday

Unless you have been half-way across the world or climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro these last 18 months, you already know that Whole Foods Market opens Wednesday at 9 a.m.

Located at 23932 Aliso Creek Road in the Aliso Creek Village center, it was that Whole Foods had signed the lease in the center. 

On Monday night, VIPs were invited for a preview that included Mayor Paul Glaab, Councilwoman Linda Lindholm, and Councilman Gary Capata. 

The store has been designed inside and outside to reflect the rustic and natural surroundings of the community. At one time, the space was a Tall Mouse craft store.

Hilary Maler, Southern Pacific Region associate marketing coordinator said, “We want to be a part of the community and shoppers will notice that we will have a lot of natural elements throughout the store in terms of décor to evoke the natural feel of the community and its surroundings. Signage will allude to the bike paths and the natural feeling that can be found in and around Laguna Niguel.”

The 41,000-square-foot store has numerous —many are exclusive to the Laguna Niguel store—ranging from demonstration cooking kitchens to a special flatbread oven with its own chef.
