JERSEY CITY, NJ – Whole Foods Market, a division of Amazon, has officially opened a new 51,156-square-foot store, located at Washington Street and Columbus Drive in Jersey City, N.J. this past Wednesday. This is the retailer’s first store in Jersey City, and its design aesthetic is inspired by the city’s love of art. With graphics representing the Hudson River in the store’s backyard, a cool-toned color palette was also chosen to provide a sense of calm in the busy neighborhood. The new location’s product assortment features more than 1,000 local items from the Northeast, sourced with the help of John Lawson, Senior Local Forager for Whole Foods Market.
“We’re thrilled to open our first Whole Foods Market store in Jersey City,” said Nicole Davia, Senior Vice President of Operations for Whole Foods Market. “Jersey City is already home to one of our store support offices, and we know our neighbors and many community members have been anxiously awaiting this opening. We look forward to serving them and introducing them to a shopping experience unlike anywhere else!”
“After nearly 20 years with Whole Foods Market, I feel privileged to help open the first store in Jersey City,” said Masud Alam, Store Team Leader for Whole Foods Market. “I’m ready to introduce our customers to our passionate and knowledgeable team members committed to serving this community. I’m also excited for customers to discover hundreds of products from local brands we love featured across our aisles.”
To give back to the community, Whole Foods Market has donated to nonprofit organizations The Sharing Place, Triangle Park Community Center and The Community Food Bank of New Jersey. Additionally, a Whole Foods Market refrigerated van previously donated through the grocer’s Nourishing Our Neighborhoods program to nonprofit organization Table to Table will make regular pick-ups from the Jersey City store to transfer rescued food to community members in need. Through the program, Whole Foods Market has now donated two refrigerated vans in the state of New Jersey, including a donation to Morristown-based nonprofit nourish.NJ. To date, the retailer has donated 38 vans to food rescue organizations across the U.S.
