Houston, Texas Getting 6th Whole Foods Market

by Allison Wollam

Whole Foods Market Inc. has signed a lease with The Finger Cos. and will build a new store in Houston on the corner of Waugh Drive and West Dallas Street.
The developer said Tuesday that it has signed a long-term lease with Whole Foods, which will build a 40,000-square-foot grocery store in conjunction with a proposed new luxury apartment project being developed by The Finger Cos. at the Montrose location.

The project has yet to be named and an opening date for the new grocery store has yet to be determined.
Marvy Finger, founder and CEO of The Finger Cos., said the completion of the agreement is a definite, positive signal in the current marketplace.
The newest store will mark the Austin-based grocer’s sixth location in the local market.
