Whole Foods to Roll Out Six New London Stores

Whole Foods Market (Austin, Texas) has announced the opening dates for six new stores in the U.K. in coming months. When the last debuts in June, the new locales will bring the grocer’s total U.K. fleet to 12.

The new locations also represent the international expansion of Whole Foods Market’s smaller Daily Shop format, which launched in New York in 2024. The Daily Shop store design maximizes the number of offerings available in locations under 14,000 square feet. These six new locations will vary in size, between roughly 3300 and 10,000 square feet.

“We’re happy to be expanding Whole Foods Market’s physical store presence in the U.K., allowing us to reach more customers with our uncompromising quality standards and carefully curated selection of natural and organic products,” said Jason Buechel, VP of Amazon’s Worldwide Grocery Stores and Whole Foods Market CEO. “Each new store represents an opportunity to bring responsibly sourced, high-quality food to more communities who share our values of nourishing people and the planet.”

The openings come on the heels of Whole Foods opening its first new store in London in a decade last March, when the natural and organic foods retailer unveiled a 21,000-square-foot locale on King’s Road. (Click here to read VMSD European Editor John Ryan’s assessment of that store.)
The newest locations will be in the following London neighborhoods: Angel, Liverpool Street, Notting Hill Gate, Wood Wharf (Canary Wharf), Monument and St. James. Part of Amazon’s Worldwide Grocery Stores, Whole Foods has 532 stores across the U.S., 12 in Canada and six in the U.K.
