Whole Foods Market has officially announced the grand opening of its first store on Maui, located in Kahului at the Maui Mall. The highly anticipated opening is set for February 24th, with doors opening to the public at 9 a.m. To mark this special occasion, Whole Foods Market will host its traditional bread breaking ceremony, a symbolic gesture of community and new beginnings. Adding to the excitement, the first 200 customers who spend $50 or more will receive a complimentary reusable shopping bag, a unique memento exclusive to the Whole Foods Market Kahului store. This special tote bag features a pineapple design, a nod to Hawaiian hospitality and Maui’s rich agricultural heritage.
Ray Stockton, the store team leader for Whole Foods Market Kahului, expressed his enthusiasm about joining the Maui community. “We look forward to joining the Maui community and invite residents to visit the store and take part in our exciting lineup of activities and giveaways,” Stockton stated. He also highlighted the popular value tours as an excellent introduction to the store, scheduled to commence on Sunday, February 28th.
The grand opening week is packed with special events and giveaways designed to welcome Maui residents to their new Whole Foods Market.
On Thursday, February 25th, the first 50 shoppers who subscribe to the Whole Foods Market e-newsletter will receive a free $10 Whole Foods Market Gift Card. Interested customers can sign up at the Healthy Eating Booth, conveniently located within the produce department.
Friday, February 26th, offers an early morning treat for Maui coffee lovers. The first 200 shoppers to enter the store will receive a free Whole Foods Market coffee tumbler along with a complimentary cup of coffee to kickstart their day.
For those who might miss the initial grand opening day, Saturday, February 27th, presents another opportunity to celebrate. Whole Foods Market will be offering the opening day gift with purchase promotion once again. The first 200 shoppers who spend $50 or more on Saturday will receive the exclusive reusable shopping tote bag, designed specifically for the Whole Foods Market Kahului location.
Concluding the opening week festivities, Sunday, February 28th, is designated as “Sandwich Sunday.” Customers who purchase a custom-made sandwich from the prepared foods department can choose a free side of either potato salad or macaroni salad (4 ounces), while supplies last.
