It’s so exciting to see the excitement at the Grand Opening of the Whole Foods Market in Kailua!  I’ve visited the store twice today.  Once in the morning, just after the store opened.  I didn’t stay because I couldn’t find any parking.  The parking lot in front of Whole Foods was full, the area in front of Longs Drugs was full, and the parking area in front of Macy’s was also full.  There was 1 open stall near Starbucks so I stopped and got my daily coffee.

I came back in the early evening with my family and found a parking stall at the rear of the parking lot.  We finally entered the store and felt the positive energy and vibe of the new store.  You’re first greeted with the fresh fruits and vegetables section, each labled with where they came from.  As you walk through the section, you see a “poke” bar.  We were given a sample which tasted great!  Next you’ll see the raw poultry, pork, and beef.  As you continue through, you’ll see bakery items.  We bought 2 cupcakes and 1 coconut cream pie.  They tasted so good!  There’s also the food bars where you can build your own meal.

As you walk through the store, you see many organic-type products.  I can’t wait to try them, it’s great to see a new mix of products coming into the Kailua neighborhood.  There’s so many things to see in this new store.  The Whole Foods Market seems to be a good fit for Kailua.

Mahalo,
