Smaller Markets
I work around the corner from the new Whole Foods in West Des Moines, IA and the place is packed every day. Residents seem a little star-struck with the store so I guess their strategy is working. I just wish their "smaller market" strategy coincided with a "smaller price" strategy as well.

What the article doesn't say is how this company has paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to Monsanto to stop Proposition 37 in California. This proposition would force companies to label all foods that have been Genetically Modified. Apparently Whole Foods doesn't want you to know just how much "UN-NATURAL" foods they really sell. Natural food store my ***. You should black list this company and not even enter their store. Hit them where it hurts. Copy this and email it to all your friends.

Sorry but I disagree. WF is a very socially responsible company with a tremendously loyal fan base. They are doing something right in the marketplace, otherwise they wouldn't be so successful. They do a good job of sourcing their products from companies that agree to their rather strict and high standards of quality. Bash the company all you want. It won't change the shopping habits of millions of shoppers that have made WF one of the more successful companies in an economy that is suffering for lack of national leadership.
