London — Whole Foods Market is expanding internationally, with a new store planned in London that will open on March 25, 2025. The store is the first new U.K. location for Whole Foods Market since 2014 and will serve as a premium retailer for the historic and celebrated destination of London’s King’s Road in Chelsea.
“Whole Foods Market has roots deeply planted in the U.K., and we are thrilled to be bringing more natural and organic food to this market with the opening of our new King’s Road store this March,” says Jason Buechel, vice president of Amazon’s Worldwide Grocery Stores and CEO of Whole Foods Market. “Continuing our expansion outside of the U.S. enables us to extend our reach to more customers while advancing our higher purpose to nourish people and the planet.”
Today, Whole Foods Market has more than 535 stores in the U.S., U.K. and Canada, with nearly 90 stores in the pipeline. The retailer continues to innovate and expand its real estate footprint. In 2024, the grocer announced and opened a new store format, Whole Foods Market Daily Shop, a quick-shop format designed to provide customers in urban neighborhoods a convenient shopping experience with the same fresh, high-quality offerings of a traditional-sized Whole Foods Market store.
“We know customers in the U.K. are seeking high quality natural and organic products. As we plan for the future, we are actively looking at this market and opportunities to bring Whole Foods Market to more customers there,” says Christina Minardi, executive vice president growth & development, Whole Foods Market & Amazon.
The new 21,800-square-foot store will feature new and exclusive products, only available at Whole Foods Market King’s Road, and many local brands from London and across England.
