This is my first experience with a Whole Foods, after hearing friends praise the locations in Wilmington & Raleigh, I am so happy we have our own location here.\n\nChristine pretty much \"nailed it on the head\" with her review. I can't offer much more. :D\n\nThe store is bright & inviting, the employees are so friendly & helpful. \nThe wine/beer bar (on second floor) & \"Queens Corner\" wine/lounge area above is so nice. I can see this area being QUITE busy - especially since their hours are 11 AM - 10 PM every day. \n\nHot bar, sushi bar, nice seafood department, meat department, grains area, potting (garden) area, a cooking school (can't WAIT to try this out!), breakfast bar 7 days a week, a gelato/coffee/smoothie bar, bakery, body/health area...what more could you ask for?!\n\nLove that they want to help out local (NC/SC) farmers.  Lots of local love going on there in the store. \n\nPrices vary - I noticed some prices are reasonable. Their 365 brand carries an \"every day low price\".\n\nThe only bad sad is parking. With so many Charlotteans & out of towners coming to shop here, parking is going to be quite the issue.\n\nLong live Whole Foods!
