Formerly located on Stadium where Trader Joe's is now, with Merchant of Vino, where Bello Vino is now, as a subsidiary/satellite store. The current Whole Foods location on Washtenaw, which shares an upscale strip mall with Barnes & Noble and Walgreens, was (still is?) plagued by parking problems, though nobody driving in from the suburbs seems to be deterred by that fact, in a classic case of, "Nobody goes there anymore; it's too crowded!" The developer argued the parking requirement down from the zoning by questionably invoking The New Urbanism.

A new location is scheduled to open during the summer of 2008 in the Cranbrook Village Shopping Center at the corner of Ann Arbor-Saline Road and Eisenhower Parkway. The new store occupies about 52,000 square feet which was previously vacated by Mervyn's.

Whole Foods has been accused, at the corporate level, of union-busting; labor activists in Ann Arbor have disappointedly watched union drives at other Whole Foods locations falter.

Also known as: Whole Paycheck, The Food Hole.

Locally staffed with local investors - Whole Foods is publicly traded on the NASDAQ (WFMI).
