After much anticipation, the Whole Foods Market in Exton will open on Jan. 18, bringing with it the high-quality products its customers expect, plus a few bonuses scattered throughout the 50,000 square-foot store.
Large Rooftop Deck
 |
The new Whole Foods isn’t just for grocery shopping—it’s also a great place to gather with friends over a beer or takeaway meals. During the warmer months, visitors will be able to dine on the store’s rooftop deck, which features a fire pit, food counter, seating, and a stage for live music.
Home Goods

In a step towards becoming a one-stop lifestyle brand, Whole Foods is expanding into the socially conscious home décor business. The Exton location will sell ceramic bowls, tablecloths, picture frames, wooden coasters from Philadelphia-based Half and a Third, and other household wares.
Cheese Department

Whole Foods will have certified cheese professionals on hand. The in-store experts can suggest pairings and tips for creating a cheese board. The location will also offer goat cheese from Chester Springs’ Yellow Springs Farm.
