Whole Foods To Open Dec. 12 In Stamford: Here's What To Know

STAMFORD, CT — The wait for the Stamford Whole Foods is finally over, as the grocery store will officially open at 110 High Ridge Road on Thursday, Dec. 12.

The 44,648-square-foot store is slated to open its doors at 9 a.m. Regular store hours will be 8: a.m. to 9 p.m. daily.

In an announcement last month, Whole Foods said those at the opening can enjoy coffee and muffins, and the first 300 customers in line will get limited-edition tote bags and coupons with offers up to $100 off.

The Stamford store will represent Connecticut's 12th location. There are currently stores in Avon, Danbury, Darien, Fairfield, Glastonbury, Greenwich, Milford, South Windsor, Westport and West Hartford (two stores).

Whole Foods has said the renovated space, which was previously occupied by Lord & Taylor, will allow shoppers to explore curated areas that give each department its own boutique feel with a blend of natural textures and tones. The grocery store shares the building with Saks Off 5th, which opened in October 2022.

There will be more than 1,000 local products from 250-plus Northeast-based suppliers at the Stamford store, according to the company.

Store highlights will include:

• A vibrant produce section with certified organic, conventional and Sourced for Good produce.
