Whole Foods has five stores in Greater London and plans for the two new outlets is the company’s first expansion in the UK since it opened its shop in Kensington in 2007.
Jeff Turnas, regional president of Whole Foods’ UK business, said the retailer had always had an “ambition” to open stores “the length and breadth” of the country.
“We are delighted to underscore our commitment to the UK and make this further investment in our business here,” Turnas said.
