WILLIAMSBURG, BROOKLYN — Williamsburg's long-awaited Whole Foods will be opening at 9 a.m. on July 26, the company announced this weekend.

The 51,000 square foot market, located at 238 Bedford Ave., will also carry the wares to two New York City staples, according to a Whole Foods spokeswoman.

Roberta's bakery, based in East Williamsburg, will be selling baked goods at the store, such as sticky buns and sunflower spelt loafs. And Luke's Lobster will operate a Tail Cart featuring "sustainably-sourced" and "traceable" lobster tails.

Plans for the market were first reported in 2012. Whole Foods will be sharing the property with other major companies, including WeWork.

Earlier this month, local competitor Foodtown sued the site's developers, The Real Deal reported, alleging that they ignored zoning rules by, among other things, failing to provide enough parking for the property's tenants.
