New Sherman Oaks Whole Foods To Open October 28

SHERMAN OAKS, CA — A brand new Whole Foods Market will open for business in Sherman Oaks on October 28. The 54,000 square-foot store will be located at 14311 Ventura Blvd. and will be the second location in the community.

The store will feature a special taproom called Sherman Hops, featuring 30 local beers along with seasonal wine and food items. The location will also offer a full-service butcher with in-house sausages, a seafood counter and specialty food section, a wellness and beauty department, and an extensive beer and wine selection.

Additionally, the store will contain fresh produce from a variety of local growers, such as Kenter Canyon Farms, Kowalke Farms and Be Wise Ranch.

"All food at Whole Foods Market must meet the company’s rigorous quality standards, which prohibit hydrogenated fats, high-fructose corn syrup and over 100 preservatives, flavors, colors, sweeteners and other ingredients commonly found in food," the company wrote in a press release. "In addition, all beauty and body care products must meet the company’s body care standards, which ban more than 100 commonly used ingredients, including phthalates, parabens and microbeads."

The building has been in the works since 2018. The lot previously contained a car wash, which was demolished to make room for the new grocery store.
