A list of private supermarkets similar to Whole Foods in the greater New York area that local source products
Hi there! Thank you for your request to provide a list of private supermarkets similar to Whole Foods in the greater New York area that local source products. The short version is that I have found 10 natural and organic food stores that appear to match your specification of using local source products, including Foragers Market, Perelandra Natural Food Center, LifeThyme All-Natural Market, and Four Seasons Natural Food Store. However, some stores had more than one location (maximum 3) in New York. Below is a deep dive into my research and methodology.
METHODOLOGY
To fulfill your request, I reviewed Wonder resources and conducted a search via Google. From my search on Google, I came across a number of useful articles on organic and natural markets that directed me to some of the stores listed below. I, also, used Eat Well Guide and the Independent Natural Food Retailers Association to help me narrow my search. In general, all of these stores featured additional aspects, such as having a juice bar, bakery, and/or selling supplements.
For most of the stores listed below, I was able to provide the name of a buyer or another person in a supervisory role, as well as contact information. I accomplished this by searching the stores' websites, LinkedIn, Google, and Facebook. For two stores, The Garden Food Market and Greenpoint Natural Market, I was unable to find the names of anyone in a supervisory role. I did, however, provide you with their contact information.
It is a specialty grocery store that sells organic, natural and whole foods. The website is currently being redesigned. However, I have provided you with a link to their Facebook page, also.
