Nineteen Team Members helped open Whole Foods Market in Austin on September 20, 1980, with a simple goal of providing a more natural alternative to conventional grocery offerings. With a birthday bash at its world headquarters and festivities at all of its stores, the Company celebrates three decades of natural and organic foods.
