The Whole Foods in Coral Gables is HUGE--like 47,700 square feet huge. Like gourmet things? This place has a huuuuge selection wine, baked goods, spices, etc.
They do care not only about food and produce they do all natural no chemicals shampoos and other items ( very cheap!!) but they do care about Real Estate. How? Land is scarcely and expensive in the area of Gables, Miami, but the building @ the intersection of Red Road and San Remo Avenue ( just behind Sunset Shops) is an example of vertical Real Estate. Parking is located on a third floor, and store is located on Ground Floor. Free and covered parking entrance located on San Remo Avenue.
After you're done with your shopping a sophisticated ramp staircase will lift your shopping cart to the Third Floor, while you walk up at its side at the same time. Afraid of the staircases pulling your cart? A team member will gladly assist you and your groceries upstairs to your car.
Curbside pick up? Just leave your cart with one of the front end baggers, drive your car around to the front and they will load it for you!
