Whole Foods Coming to the NW Side

On Thursday, they held the groundbreaking ceremony for the long anticipated Whole Foods store which is going to open on the NW corner of Cicero & Peterson. All I can say is that it's a very welcome addition to the neighborhood. Although we've got plenty of ethnic markets in the area, the only supermarket alternatives are Jewel & Dominicks. Having a WF nearby will be great for me! Here's hoping they have a decent seafood department. It's a long drive to Dirk's.

Edited to correct street name

Z,

I thought you were in KC, how did you attend the ceremony?

I live in the same general area, and I agree it will be a nice addition to the neighborhood. Whole Foods will be on the ground floor of a multi story building consisting of, what else, condooooooooooooominiums. (said in the fashion of a pro wrestler or roller girl introduction. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaana Rumble)

Enjoy,
Gary

I think you mean Peterson, not Devon.

Right you are. I was so excited, I even got the street wrong. I have corrected my OP.

Anybody know about the timing for the proposed Whole Foods at Roosevelt & Canal? It will be a nice option for me for a noon hour walk from my workplace, probably alternating with the Athens Market.

In case it's useful, here's a link to the Whole Foods new stores list, which is kind of buried within their website:
