Whole Foods Market (Austin, Texas) has ventured outside the United States for the first time with the opening a 40,000-square-foot store in Toronto's Yorkville neighborhood.

“Today not only marks the opening of our 132nd store in 22 years, but also our first international location,” said Walter Robb, executive vp of operations. “Toronto is a very sophisticated, ethnically diverse market.”

The new store offers a wide-variety of natural and organic groceries, produce, natural meats and a dry-aged meat case, smoked seafood, brick oven pizza, organic salad bar, sushi bar, coffee and tea bar featuring in-store coffee roasting and a community classroom available for classes regarding cooking, food issues and wellness trends.
