Hoboken Whole Foods Supermarket Gets Opening Date

HOBOKEN, NJ — The Whole Foods company has released the opening date for its Hoboken supermarket.

The new store, located on lower Washington Street, will open on Dec. 18, a spokesperson said.

Work recently began at the former bank building at 101 Washington St. to transform into the market.

The building got new signage last week.

As reported first on Patch this week, the company then received a Stop Work order for exterior construction.

A spokesperson said Wednesday, "The stop work order issued by the city of Hoboken is specific to exterior signage permitting and does not impact our opening date. We are working closely with city officials to resolve and look forward to serving the Hoboken community with high quality natural and organic products beginning December 18.”

The Whole Foods company also said it will open a new market on Brooklyn on Dec. 11, for those who travel.

The mile-square city is also getting a new Dumbo Market supermarket in the southwest corner of town, officials announced last month.

The city already has a Shoprite, Acme, Kings Fresh, relatively new Urban Market, and Trader Joe's.

A Whole Foods opened in Downtown Jersey City two years ago.
