HOUSTON (March 10, 2015) – On April 6, Whole Foods Market will host a preview party for its new Voss location in Houston. The store, a relocation of the company’s Woodway store, will open April 8, at 1407 South Voss Road.
The sneak peek event will feature sips and samples of local and exclusive products, as well as live music. Proceeds will benefit the Houston Blues Society. Limited tickets are available for a $10 donation and can be purchased in advance at https://wfmvoss.eventbrite.com.
At 45,000 square feet, the Voss store is twice the size of the Woodway location. It will offer an array of unique features and a full range of high quality natural and organic products, including more than 400 organic items throughout the store, 75 varieties of freshly cut fruit and vegetables and 20 freshly squeezed juice options. All produce sold at the store will meet the company’s Responsibly Grown rating system, supporting the store’s commitment to quality, human health and the environment.
In keeping with Whole Foods Market tradition, the store will include several innovative features:
