What other stores will be going in at the Whole Foods center in Dublin?

At first I thought "great, another grocery store, just what we need", but after reading the article it sounds pretty cool. Musicians? Outdoor patio with beer and wine?
I've never shopped at Whole Foods but I'll definitely go in to check it out when it opens.
I've heard their prices are high so we'll see

Whole Foods is a great store....if you can afford it.
I ran into Genes the other day for one quick thing. Hadn't been in there in months.
Talk about high prices. Over $10 for a bottle of Downey Fabric softner. That same thing is under $4 other places. Who in their right mind would choose to pay so much over what other stores charge?
I won't be going back there, not even for one quick thing

I can't wait for this store to open. The Folsom store has a wine bar, beer and outside music. It is the nicest one I've been to. The other anchor stores are supposed to be HomeGoods and Nordstrom Rack. So glad I won't have to go to San Ramon to shop also.

For those of you who want a smaller, more hometown grocery shopping experience along the lines of Whole Foods, I highly recommend the New Leaf store at Bernal and Vineyard. Same organic product lines, excellent service, awesome fresh foods and right here in Pleasanton.

That location desperately needs a Chipolte, but I talked with Chipolte Manager when I was buying at 4:40 after completing my Dublin chores & Sprouts shopping,yesterday, and the 'C' Manager said all Hacienda spaces were leased before a shovel was ever turned. That location will be serving neglected Pleasantonians. Chipolte SHOULD be lured to our Kohl center or empty spaces in the southern Rosewood near AutoZone & the new CVS. Why don't we recruit to fill our way too many empty spaces. P-town Chipolte would have lines out the doors. If only we could just get it a bit closer than it is now. Shouldn't we want a few more tax dollars???

I used to shop at the WFM in San Ramon, but decided that it just wasn't worth the drive. If I was a die-hard organics-only type of shopper, then maybe. But I'm not, and I get meat and veggies that are as good or better than WFM, and generally cheaper, here in town at Gene's.

Two more comments on Gene's. If I needed to buy a bunch of commodities like laundry detergent, toilet paper, or fabric softener, I'd to go Target or Lucky or someplace that seems to always have these things on sale. Most anything else - cans of diced tomatoes, milk, eggs, cookies, whatever - is about the same price at Gene's. It's close enough that it's not worth the drive to another store just to save one dollar.
I've compared the meats and veggies from Gene's, WFM, Lunardi's, and Draeger's, and IMHO Gene's is the same or better, and it's a lot closer.

I haven't bought laundry detergent since 2013 when I bought a 15 gallon carboy at Costco. Whole Foods is a terrific market. People who complain about the price just should not go there. It's not meant for you.

@Mike - cool retail? Come on, we're getting Chick-fil-a, remember?

Still gonna shop at the New Leaf in Pleasanton. Way better than any WFM I've ever been to, especially in produce quality, meat/seafood quality, and employee demeanor... yup, can't think of a reason I need WFM.

I used to like the bakery at WFM - the pastries, not the whole fancy cakes - but they've diminished this over the past few years so I don't even go anymore. In particular I liked the Morning Rolls, but as I understand things, they were produced by a small artisan bakery whose owner passed away.
In the meantime, though, I've discovered a new bakery. Filigree, across the parking lot from Papa Murphy's pizza in the shopping center on the northwest side of Valley and Santa Rita. Turnovers, scones, brownies, lemon bars, bread pudding, etc. Very good!

I wonder what time the wine bar is open? I like to get my drinking out of the way early.

Keep it local, folks! I particularly enjoy getting macarons at Sugarie Bakery and organic veggies/fruits/meats at New Leaf. Both shops are small, friendly, and just as good as anything in Dublin!

You must work at New Leaf. Don't get me wrong I like New Leaf but everything is 2 to 3 dollars more there than at Whole Foods. As for you comments about the produce and meat/ seafood being way better you're either crazy or don't know what good quality means. New leaf leaves their wilting produce on the shelf 3 days past when Whole Foods would donate it to a local food bank. As for Meat/Seafood New Leaf was out of chicken breasts the other day and their case is always half full with discolored Meat.
