Whole Foods Tour Aids School Gardens

Whole Foods Market at Merchants Walk is offering a sneak peek at the new East Cobb location today and Monday.

Tour attendees will learn about the store's highlights, taste samples from each department, see cooking demonstrations and receive a goodie bag.

Registration for tour time slots is required. 

Upon registration, there is a $5 donation to Keep Cobb Beautiful’s Dig ‘N the Dirt program. The program funds school garden projects. Gardens provide a dynamic environment where children can learn and play at the same time. They experiment, discover, gain confidence, build self-esteem, and gain an appreciation for the amount of work required to bring food to the table.

Whole Food Market's grand opening is Wednesday and includes a free breakfast open to the community starting at 8 a.m., followed by the traditional Bread Breaking Ceremony at 8:45 and the doors opening just after 9 a.m. Customers will enjoy free samples and demonstrations throughout the day.

If you are one of the first 500 shoppers through the doors, you'll receive a Whole Foods Market reusable bag.   

Whole Foods Market is at 1311 Johnson Ferry Rd., Suite 580.
