Whole Foods Market is thrilled to announce the grand opening of its brand-new store in Oakland, California, on Wednesday, December 8th. Located at 5110 Telegraph Ave. in the vibrant Temescal neighborhood, this new Whole Foods Oakland location promises to bring an exceptional grocery shopping experience focused on quality, local sourcing, and community engagement. Spanning 31,011 square feet, the store is designed to reflect the natural beauty of nearby Temescal Canyon, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere for shoppers. Oakland residents can look forward to discovering a wide selection of Whole Foods Market’s signature offerings, with a strong emphasis on products from Northern California.
One of the key highlights of the Whole Foods Market Oakland – Temescal store is its dedication to local products. Patrick Wyman, the Local Forager for Whole Foods Market’s Northern California region, has carefully curated an assortment that showcases the best of the region. This commitment to local sourcing means Oakland shoppers will have access to fresh, unique, and regionally specific items throughout the store.
As with all Whole Foods Market locations, the Temescal store upholds the company’s strict Quality Standards. This commitment ensures that every product on the shelves meets rigorous criteria, including the prohibition of hydrogenated fats, high-fructose corn syrup, and over 150 commonly used flavors, colors, sweeteners, and other undesirable ingredients. Furthermore, the beauty and body care section adheres to equally stringent standards, banning over 100 commonly used ingredients like phthalates, parabens, and microbeads. This dedication to quality and ingredient transparency provides Oakland customers with confidence in their purchasing choices for themselves and their families.
Whole Foods Market Oakland is also committed to giving back to the local Temescal community. In support of outdoor recreation and healthy living, the store is proud to sponsor the Bay Area Trails Challenge. This annual program encourages residents to explore the beautiful East Bay regional parks through hiking and bicycling, running until December 31, 2021.
Further demonstrating its commitment to the community, Whole Foods Market Oakland, through its Nourishing our Neighborhoods program, will donate three refrigerated vans to local organizations dedicated to food security. Food Runners, City Team, and Food Shift will each receive a van to assist in their vital work of transporting perishable and nonperishable food to individuals and families in need throughout Oakland. Additionally, in December, Whole Foods Market will sponsor the 12 Days of Christmas with the Eat.Learn.Play. Foundation, founded by Stephen and Ayesha Curry. This organization focuses on combating childhood hunger, promoting access to quality education, and encouraging active lifestyles for children.
