Whole Foods: Big surprise party in the parking lot this evening – tons of food/snacks, a band and a tapas truck. No booze, just kombucha. There were store tours for people with the right pass, and freebie bags full of healthy junk food (more than a few people left the bags on 24th Street benches and ledges for scavengers).
Green11: An early opening tonight to catch some of the Whole Foods festival foot traffic. It's cute (and tiny).
Starbucks: Workers were still toiling away on the design refresh; they’re going to be there all night. Contractor overheard out front: "We will be opening on time tomorrow AM."
Coming Soon: Mystery Store: New store opening in the Simply Chic space. The hipster dude inside says the name is still a secret but will be revealed next week. Opening mid October-ish, the store will be selling “unique gifts” and “unusual cool things” in time for the holidays. Update (9/27): They told us today they'll feature "spiritual items" by local artists, giving us the impression they meant "crystals." But then maybe we're a bit skeptical anywhere near a psychic.
Urban Cellars: Open for business again.

Whole foods really embraced NV tonight. It was a great "party" and certainly set the tone for what is to come. (Actually they set the tone sometime ago by engaging the NV community and listening)
ReplyDeleteI am very happy to have Whole Foods as a part of the neighborhood I call home.
They aren't open yet!
