Here’s note from an OTBKB reader about Whole Foods:

I came across an item that I thought might be of interest. I read in the business section of the Times Wednesday that Whole Foods isn’t doing so well, and “would reduce the number of stores it plans to open in fiscal 2009 to 15, instead of 25 or 30.”

So, I am curious if that would affect the Whole Foods that is planned for 3rd Avenue. I haven’t been following that whole story so closely–I think I heard that there were environmental remediation issues that had to be dealt with. Anyway, maybe that store might be one of the ones on the chopping block. (Unlike much of Park Slope, I am sort of hoping the store doesn’t open; I don’t want to see anything happen to the Park Slope Food Coop).
