When Does Whole Foods 365 Open in Lake Oswego? Thursday, July 14

There's been a bit of a game of musical chairs with supermarkets in the area.

First, Albertson's and Safeway merged.

Then Haggen's bought a bunch of supermarkets.

Then Haggen went bankrupt.

Then Safeway came back.

Now Whole Foods is getting ready to try something completely different - they are opening a new concept store: 365 by Whole Foods Market.

The new store at 11 S State Street has its grand opening at 9:00 a.m.. After that it's regular opening will be 8:00 a.m. with closing at 10:00 p.m. seven days a week.

On opening day, the first 100 shoppers will receive gift cards ranging from $5 to $365. The first 365 shoppers will get a free reusable shopping bag.

Also that day, free snacks for everyone.

"Oregon is known throughout the country for an extremely creative and diverse food scene and we wanted to find partners that would be reflective of those qualities," said Jeff Turnas, president of 365 by Whole Foods Market."

"We’ve made it a point to keep an open mind during the selection process, considering anything and everything. This time it was the team in the Pacific Northwest that helped us discover friends for this new store."

In addition to the stuff you might expect to find in a supermarket, 365 has created a program - Friends of 365 - in which other businesses will open up branches within the store.

In Lake Oswego, those partners will include Next Level Burger and Canteen.

The Lake Oswego location is the second for 365 by Whole Foods Market.

The first one opened in May in Los Angeles.
