Whole Foods opens April 12th

I should have been checking Whole Foods website, I could have scooped the Washington Post as this was posted back on Thursday there.  (it did not appear in Washington Post afternoon on Friday)

As I posted earlier I think the Whole Foods FINALLY opening will really start making the rest of the retail in the community come together.  Looking to the month of May for more retail commitments.
