Whole Foods is opening in midtown Miami this month, spotlighting 130-plus Florida producers
After much anticipation, Whole Foods Market's Edgewater location is finally set to open: the grocery chain will officially debut a new 53,400-square-foot store located at 2910 Biscayne Boulevard at 9 a.m. on Thursday, June 26. And what better way to celebrate than with free coffee and tasty breakfast treats?
On opening morning, customers will enjoy complimentary java from Wells Coffee and breakfast items from Zak the Baker. And if you're a true early bird, the first 300 customers in line will receive a custom tote bag and Secret Saver coupon featuring offers up to $100 off. Don't feel like waking up early? Later in the day, Gelatys will pass out complimentary gelato pops to afternoon shoppers.
To mark the opening, Whole Foods is also donating food to The Caring Place, a Miami-based organization focused on food rescue, as part of its Nourishing Our Neighborhoods program.
The new Edgewater outpost will also be serving up serious Miami vibes: along with bright and bold decor nods that mimic the city's vibrant spirit (think bird motifs and tropical plants throughout), the new location will spotlight an assortment of more than 500 locally made items from 130-plus Florida suppliers.
We're talking Key West pink shrimp from Cox's Seafood Co. and grouper from Greg Abrams Seafood over at the sustainably-focused, full-service seafood counter; hyper-fresh lychee and passion fruit from EcoRipe Tropicals on display in the produce section; hand-wrapped fresh mozzarella from Mozzarita and rosemary flatbread from Jennifer's Homemade on stock in the specialty department; and ground beef from Adam's Ranch Natural Beef at the butchery.
A full-service coffee bar will pour Cuban-style coffee drinks (from cortaditos to café con leche); a prepared foods department will stock fresh pizza, made-to-order sandwiches and daily-changing sushi selections from Sushi Maki; and the extensive beverage offerings will include more than 240 craft beers (including Florida-born faves like Sunshine City IPA from Green Bench Brewing and Ever Haze IPA from Tripping Animals) as well as ready-to-drink cocktails and more than 700 wines. Cheers to that!

Pret A Manger ‘considering stake sale ahead of possible flotation'
Luxembourg-based JAB Holding – which bought Pret for £1.5 billion in 2018 – told the Financial Times that while it was not 'currently' considering a stake sale in Pret, it could look at the move with an initial public offering (IPO) in its sights. 'As we move closer to a potential IPO, we may evaluate bringing on a pre-IPO investor,' it told the FT. It is thought to mark the first time Pret has publicly confirmed IPO plans for Pret. JAB – which also owns Krispy Kreme and Keurig Dr Pepper – announced last month it had hired hospitality industry stalwart Jose Cil as chairman of Pret's board. Mr Cil was most recently chief executive of Burger King owner Restaurant Brands International, which also owns chains including Popeyes. JAB has been contacted for comment. Pret recently announced it was dropping plans for a doubling of its current £5 monthly subscription for up to five coffees a day as it looks to retain customers against a difficult consumer spending backdrop. The group had previously told subscribers that their subscription would increase to £10 a month from March 31, when a '50% off' deal ended. It followed Pret overhauling its £360-a-year subscription in July last year in favour of 50% off up to five coffees a day for £10 a month. The chain also removed a 20% discount on food for subscribers to end dual pricing – 'something we never really got comfortable with', it said at the time. Under the old deal that lasted for almost four years, Club Pret membership offered up to five barista-made drinks daily for a monthly fee of £30. Pret is headed up by chief executive Pano Christou, who was promoted to the top job in 2019. The firm opened its first shop in London in 1986, where the company remains headquartered. It now has 700 shops worldwide with around 12,500 employees across 21 markets.
