Stephany Buswell and Udo Prambs are now friends

I agree with Udo... although I won't support the local WF for various reasons, I have many friends who do business with them and NEED to do business with them. They buy from local suppliers to appeal to local customers. They pay top dollar to folks…

I hear there is some dis-satisfaction about WF. WF like many other companies have to saitisfy the immense hunger of the shareholders first, the consumer comes second. the great thing about WF is that they do work with locals as well as having a code…

I live in Mountain View. The WFs in both Palo Alto and Mountain View/los altos border are both pretty unimpressive to me. The produce is generally subpar and very expensive. So much shelf space devoted to out of season stuff from south america that…

Whole foods, corporate takeover or just another fabulous natural food store???

In the small community of Santa Cruz we have several awesome natural food stores that have been suppling us with great organic and local foods for many years. Whole Foods has been trying to break into our market for years and has finally succeeded by opening not one but TWO new super stores in our area.
I have been very protective of our local stores and have refused to buy anything from the stores in Santa Cruz. Of course, when I am other places, like at work, I do shop there since I have no ot… Continue
