Whole Foods Market has relocated its Richardson store to 5100 Beltline Road, in Village on the Parkway, at the southeast corner of Beltline and Dallas Parkway, and will hold a public bread-breaking ceremony at the grand opening at 7:30 a.m., July 16.

The new store, at 40,000 square feet, is much larger that the Richardson store, operating since 1988, with 26,000 square feet. Special features of the new store include an upstairs mezzanine dining area, an in-store bar serving beer and wine and a grilled cheese station at the bar. Whole Foods management states that their product selection in Addison will be much broader and deeper, with room to hold community events. Also, the number of employees is expected to triple, from 60 to 180.
