TYSONS CORNER, VA-Organic grocer Whole Foods, which has been opening stores throughout the DC area, is reportedly looking to open a store here.
The retailer is said to be searching for a mixed-use development where it could open a store in Tysons Corner, according to the Washington Post.
“I think Whole Foods wants to be in Tysons but they haven't landed yet,” said Stephen Cumbie, chief executive and principal of NV Commercial, which owns property near the Greensboro Metro station. “They've looked at our site and they've looked at some other sites. I sort of think it's just a matter of finding the right fit.”
Aaron Georgelas, partner at the Georgelas Group that is developing a project near the Spring Hill Metro station, went further saying of Whole Foods interest in Tysons Corner: “They're definitely in the market.”
Eleanor McManus, a Whole Foods spokesperson, stated, “Whole Foods is always looking to further its commitment to the area.” However, the company does not comment on speculative store leases, she said. See story in the Washington Post.
