Whole Foods

Lynnfield’s Whole Foods Market is part of the MarketStreet shopping center and gives North Shore shoppers access to the national chain’s natural and organic groceries. The company seeks out natural and organic foods, holds them to quality standards it calls the strictest in the industry, and supports sustainable agriculture. Aisles cover produce, meat and seafood, prepared foods and wellness products, along with seasonal and limited-time items.

Whole Foods began in Austin, Texas, in 1980 and became part of Amazon in 2017, which brought Prime member pricing to its stores. Shoppers who identify as Prime members get special prices on sale items and weekly deals, and orders can be placed online for delivery or pickup. The store’s in-house departments also make products such as fresh sausages, and the chain’s own 365 brand sits alongside specialty labels.
