After all the ruckus surrounding Whole Foods - will they come to Fort Worth or not, and where will that be? Will it be urban? - I decided to just head straight to the source. So, at long last, I am proud to announce that I have the final word on Whole Foods in Fort Worth.
Whole Foods is building a Fort Worth location. It will be located on the Southwest Parkway at Edwards Ranch Road. It’s going to be approximately 55,000 square feet. Since they’re not only waiting on the Edwards Ranch development as a whole, but also getting the roads themselves to be built, they are estimating that they will begin construction in late 2010.
I’m a bit disappointed that they’re coming in so far from the central city, and in what looks to be a fairly suburban fashion. Y’all know me, after all, and that I’m Mr. Urban Development. I’m not a fan of the Southwest Parkway, either. Still, we now have genuine confirmation from the source that Whole Foods is on their way, eventually.
So, now I’ll be hoping that a store like Sprouts, Trader Joe’s, or Tesco Fresh & Easy builds in the urban heart of the city.

I live downtown in T&P Lofts, and we desperately need some kind of grocery store besides Super Target! Even a convenience/deli type store would be perfect, but the ones downtown now are not open on the weekends.
