COLUMBIA, Md. (July 1, 2014) – Whole Foods Market Columbia – the first in Howard County, Maryland – is set to open Wednesday, August 20th.
The approximately 50,000 square foot store, located in the former Rouse Company building, was designed by internationally renowned architect Frank Gehry for Columbia founder James W. Rouse.
“With such an energetic community, beautiful building and scenic location – we truly hope to embody the meaning of Lake Kittamaqundi, which translates to ‘meeting place’,” said Svetlana Piskounova, Store Team Leader at Whole Foods Market Columbia. “We can’t wait to open our doors to our new neighbors. And in the meantime, we’re venturing out to meet them ahead of time in hopes of building lasting relationships. Come say ‘hi’ when we’re at the lakefront for Fourth of July.”
