What struck me as brilliant about this store is the flow of traffic.You move through the front door to enter produce, floral, bulk foods (grains,massive selections), on to meat counter, seafood counter, and cheese counter. Right in front of your meats, seafood, and cheese is a large offering of wines. All meat and poultry come from animals raised on vegetarian diets with no antibiotics and no added hormones.
How handy ! Pick up your appetizer, entree, and shop your wine all in one section.
The store has Green features natural lighting fixtures, and solar panels that run the length of the buildings roof. From reclaimed and repurposed elements, to the tailgates hanging above the check out centers to the many signs through out the store. Above produce you find a reclaimed metal fence with garden hose wound inside, making quite the unique ceiling divider. Just a few of the wonderful Green aspects that gives the Whole Foods Market Arbor Trails store that authentic South Austin feel.
