Whole Foods plans openings in Los Angeles, Bradenton

Whole Foods Market plans two new stores in November 2026: a 42,000-square-foot location in Bradenton, Florida, opening Nov. 5, and a 63,082-square-foot flagship in Los Angeles’ 3rd & Fairfax area, opening Nov. 11. The Bradenton store will be the chain’s first in Manatee County and its 40th in Florida, with more than 450 locally sourced Florida products, full-service meat and seafood counters, prepared foods, and a planned community donation. The Los Angeles store will relocate the existing Fairfax location and feature more than 1,900 California-sourced items, a taproom serving local beer and wine, and a staffed charcuterie and cheese venue.
